MLB The Show 25: 3 New Legends Confirmed, Info Schedule Revealed
Blog Article
The official reveal trailer for MLB The Show 25 has landed, along with a ton of details surrounding its features. Based on what we learned on Tuesday, almost everything I wrote about a few weeks ago proved to be accurate.
At least two of the legends I’d heard about were confirmed, and we’re hopeful to see more. Road to the Show was indeed given some much-needed love, and we’re also seeing some under-the-hood improvements to Franchise Mode.
Here is a breakdown of what’s new, but let’s start with the three legends confirmed for the game.
MLB The Show 25: 3 New Legends Confirmed
As you can see from the image above, Boston Red Sox legend Manny Ramirez has been added as an official legend.
In the trailer, which you can see below, Red Sox, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Houston Astros legend Roger Clemens is also being added.

Ramirez and Clemens’ inclusion is huge for legends from the segment of baseball often referred to as the Steroid Era. Both Ramirez and Clemens had not been included in the game for years.
With their inclusion—along with Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire in MLB The Show 23—there is hope we’ll see Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Jose Canseco, and Nomar Garciaparra in as well.
In addition to Clemens and Ramirez, Negro League legend James “Cool Papa” Bell was also confirmed, though many who are unfamiliar with him may not have recognized the brief cameo at the end of the trailer.
These three new legends will add value to Diamond Dynasty and offline modes, but it feels like this is just the beginning of the new classic players added to the game.
