Even though it was an option in previous games, you cannot request a trade in MLB The Show 25.

However, there’s still a way you can navigate the situation and end up in a different team in Road to the Show, but it requires some extra legwork and a little bit of luck.

Before reaching the point where you need to request a trade, we recommend choosing which team you want to be drafted to.

After playing in high school, your agent will ask if you have a preferred team to play on. After you choose that team, there is a high likelihood that they will draft you right out of high school.

There is a tradeoff because this means you won’t be able to play in college and will have to spend more time in the Minor League as a lower-ranked prospect. However, if you want to choose your team, this is the best way to do so.

Yet, even if you do choose your team, there is always a chance that you still want a trade down the road, so let’s jump right into what’s required.

How to get traded in RTTS

The best way to get traded in RTTS is to increase the  “Trade Frequency” slider. This doesn’t guarantee that you will get traded, but it increases the odds of a move happening.

Or, if you play well for multiple seasons, your agent will reach out and ask how you feel about your current situation.

By answering, “I’ve never seen myself with my team” or “I’d like to play somewhere else,” you will most likely get traded soon after.
