Alright, so the other day I was totally hooked on MLB The Show, and I got stuck in a situation where my star player just wasn’t fitting in with the team anymore. I needed to shake things up, so I figured, “Why not try to trade him?” Here’s how I went about requesting a trade, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
Figuring Out the Basics
First, I dove into the game’s “Franchise” mode, which is where all the team management stuff happens. I made sure I was in control of my team, and I knew I had to get to the trade screen somehow.

Navigating the Menus
I started poking around the menus. I went to the “Player Management” section, thinking that’s where I’d find the option to initiate a trade. It took a bit of searching, but eventually, I stumbled upon the “Trade Management” area.
Setting Up the Trade
- I selected my player from the roster, the one I wanted to trade away.
- Then, the game prompted me to choose what I wanted in return. I could ask for other players, draft picks, or even a combination of both. I spent some time here, trying to figure out what would be a fair deal for my team’s future.
After I put together my trade proposal, I had to submit it. The game then simulated the other teams’ responses. Sometimes, they’d accept right away; other times, they’d reject it or even send back a counteroffer. It was a bit of a negotiation process!
Dealing with the Rejections
Honestly, my first few attempts were total flops. The other teams weren’t interested in my player, or they were asking for way too much in return. I had to go back to the drawing board a few times, adjusting my offer until I found something that worked.
Finally Getting the Trade
Finally get the trade!After several tries with several changes.
It took some patience and a bit of trial and error, but I finally managed to request and complete a trade that made sense for my team. It’s a bit of a process, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a pretty cool way to reshape your roster and build a winning team.
