Published: Apr 5, 2021 07:18 pm

On April 5, Sony San Diego announced the first Team Affinity player rewards for MLB The Show 21. Much like with previous years of MLB The Show, MLBTS players will need to complete team-specific missions to acquire these players. These players can then be used in MLB The Show’s CCG game mode, Diamond Dynasty.
