MLB The Show 25 Jackie Robinson Day Program: How To Complete The Program?
MLB The Show 25 releases new cards every once in a while, and they launched another new program in mid-April. This program brings us cards from The Negro Leagues.
Jackie Robinson Day Program is to commemorate Jackie Robinson, the first African diaspora player in the modern history of Major League Baseball. The rewards of this program include five new diamond cards, including an overall score of 89 Jackie Robinson shortstop card.
Jackie Robinson Day Program Rewards
Besides Diamond Cards, the rewards of Jackie Robinson Day Program also include card packs, XP, and MLB The Show 25 Stubs. You can unlock the rewards of this program by completing various activities and accumulating points. This program does not expire, so you can complete it slowly.
The specific rewards are as follows:
- 5 Points: Bat Skin

- 15 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack
- 20 Points: 86 OVR Andy Cooper

- 100 Points: 89 OVR Jackie Robinson and 15,000 XP
86 OVR Andy Cooper is a starting pitcher. His stats are good, but not great. He doesn’t have any Quirks, which means this card has a low ceiling.
86 OVR Rap Dixon is a right fielder. His strengths are speed, hitting, and power, but this card doesn’t show them. His Speed, Stealing, and Baserunning are good, which makes him a good fielder.
87 OVR Rube Foster can be a starting pitcher, first baseman, or right fielder. As a starting pitcher, his advantage is that his Stamina attribute is high, but his other attributes are mediocre. This card can be used for collection.
Unlike the previous three cards, 89 OVR Jackie Robinson is not only collectible, but also very powerful. This card has very good contact attributes on both sides, but the Powers attributes on both sides are not very high. Jackie Robinson has a very high Speed attribute and is also good at stealing bases, and this card is currently ranked fifth in the shortstop position.

You need to complete this program by collecting points. Here’s how you earn points:
- Complete three Moments (10 points each, 30 points total)

Negro Leagues Collection
Larry Doby 89 OVR and John Donaldson 90 OVR are new cards added to Jackie Robinson Day Program. They can be got through The Negro Leagues Collection. As long as you successfully collect 13 cards of The Negro Leagues, you can unlock Larry Doby. To unlock John Donaldson, you need 20 cards.
These two cards can only be obtained this way and cannot be traded through stubs. Larry Doby 89 OVR is one point lower than John Donaldson 90 OVR, but it is more valuable than him.
Larry Doby 89 OVR is the third-best center fielder in MLB 25 with 9 Quirks, and is also very good against right-handed pitches as a hitter.
John Donaldson 90 OVR is the 14th-best starting pitcher with 4 Quirks, and most of his stats are close to or even above 90, but his K/9 and BB/9 stats are low. All-Star Corey Kluber is a better starting pitcher than him, and the way to get this card is very simple, and you can get this card for around 20,000 stubs.
If you want to collect Larry Doby 89 OVR and John Donaldson 90 OVR, here are the 20 cards from The Negro Leagues and how to get them:
- 90 OVR Josh Gibson: 2nd Inning Program Boss

The above are the rewards and cards of Jackie Robinson Day Program. Although most of the cards are not necessarily powerful, they are definitely worth collecting. Among them, I think the cards of Larry Doby and Jackie Robinson are the most valuable.
MLB The Show 25 Egg Hunt Program: How To Complete It?
April 20, 2025 is Easter, and the most representative of this day is Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. MLB The Show 25 also launched Egg Hunt Program on this holiday. Players need to collect seven different egg vouchers in various activities to redeem rewards.
Egg Hunt Program Rewards
Egg Hunt Program has 10 rewards. The rewards do not include MLB 25 stubs, but there are many more valuable items than stubs:
- 10 Points: 86 OVR Joe Boyle
- 20 Points: 10,000 XP
- 30 Points: 87 OVR Logan O’Hoppe
- 40 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack (x3)
- 50 Points: 88 OVR Riley Greene
- 60 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack (x5)
- 70 Points: 10,000 XP
- 80 Points: Golden Egg Icon
- 90 Points: Deluxe Egg Hunt pack
- 100 Points: 15,000 XP and 89 OVR Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a left-handed hitter who is good at handling pitches from the right side. However, his strength is speed, so you can use him as a shortstop in your team.
Riley Greene is also a left-handed hitter who is better at handling pitches from the right side than Jazz Chisholm Jr., and he often plays as an outfielder in MLB.
Logan O’Hoppe has fast reaction stats and is better as a catcher than a hitter. If you are missing a good catcher, then Logan O’Hoppe can basically meet your requirements.
Joe Boyle is a good pitcher with good stats, but he has no Quirks, which limits the performance of this card. However, you only need 10 points to get him, so there is no need to ask for more from him.
How To Get Rewards?
Similar to other programs, Egg Hunt Program can be progressed by completing Moments, Missions, and other miscellaneous tasks. However, because of the existence of Eggs, this program is completed differently.
Here’s how you get 100 points:
- Complete 9 Moments (10 points - 1 point for each 9 Moments, 2 points for each Moment)
- Complete Missions (40 points - 5 points each)
- Complete Egg Collection (50 points)
Mystery Missions
- Big Conquest Mystery: Get a save as a left-handed pitcher in Conquest mode

If you don’t have a high-rated player, you can also complete the mission with a low-rated player. Although this will make the mission more difficult, it can save you stubs.
Easter Egg Locations
Finding Easter eggs can be said to be the most fun activity in Egg Hunt Program. There are 7 Easter eggs and you only need to find 5 to get a voucher.
Finding Easter eggs yourself will have the most fun, but if you can’t find them, the following content may help you. All Easter eggs are basically concentrated in Diamond Dynasty:

Free Cards Of April Spotlight 2
Topps Now Jacob Wilson
This card of Jacob Wilson is a good right-handed hitter with moral vision. However, his Contact Left and Power Left are both terrible, and his speed is not very fast, and these severely limit this card.
Topps Now Carson Kelly
This card is very similar to Jacob Wilson. Although he has good contact stats on both sides, his Power Left is only 58, and his poor speed makes this card difficult to score.
April Spotlight Trent Grisham
This free card is a pretty good left-handed hitter with excellent contact and power. But he still has the problem of not being fast enough, which makes it difficult for Trent Grisham to score when running the bases. However, it is still a card that is worth trying and using.
April Spotlight 2 Pack New Players
Added several new players in April Spotlight 2 Pack:
- Spotlight Kris Bubic: 88 Overall Rating
- Spotlight Tyler Soderstrom: 88 Overall Rating
- Topps Now Ivan Herrera: 86 Overall Rating
- Toops Now Jake Mangum: 86 Overall Rating
- Topps Now Tomoyuki Sugano: 86 Overall Rating
Topps Now Tomoyuki Sugano
Tomoyuki Sugano is a pitcher who is relatively average in all aspects. He has no shortcomings, but he also has no strong points. If you need an Orioles pitcher for the time being, then you can use this card.
Topps Now Jake Mangum
Although Jake Mangum has a high Contact stat, his pitifully low Powers stat makes this card not among the top hitters. Fortunately, 99 Stealing, 99 Baserunning and 84 Speed save this card, so I think Jake Mangum can be an excellent baserunner for your team.
Topps Now Ivan Herrera
Ivan Herrera is good at dealing with left-handed pitchers. He can almost perfectly handle pitches from the left. Since his Clutch is also very high, the more critical the moment, the better he can play.
Spotlight Tyler Soderstrom
Tyler Soderstrom is the opposite of Ivan Herrera. He can effectively suppress right-handed pitchers. He has two Quirks: Rally Monkey and Table Setter, and combined with his 99 Clutch stat, so as your team falls behind, the better Tyler Soderstrom will perform, but don’t ignore his poor defense.
This is a very worthwhile card to use, and it’s currently worth around 30,000 stubs, but I think it may drop a bit soon.
April Spotlight Kris Bubic
As a pitcher card with an overall rating of 88, Kris Bubic has very good stats. And he also has Day Player Quirks, which makes his performance even better during the day.
He is definitely a top 10 left-handed pitcher in the game right now. Besides April Spotlight 2 Pack, you can also unlock this card for around 20,000 stubs.
April Spotlight 2 adds some very distinctive players, but they are still a little farther from the top player cards, but they can bring a richer combination to your team. You can get April Spotlight Drop 2 pack by completing April Spotlight 2 quest.
MLB The Show 25 (7 Ways To Get Stubs): How To Get Rich In The Game?
Stubs are an important currency in MLB The Show 25. If you want to get new players or gift packs in the game, you always need to use stubs. If you can’t accumulate stubs, then you can’t unlock the players you want as you wish.
But the good news is that it’s not difficult to get MLB The Show 25 stubs. There are many ways to get stubs in the game, and veteran players of this series often say that they have hundreds of thousands of stubs that they can’t use up. Do you want to do this too? Then you can try the following methods.
1. Top Up
This is the easiest and fastest way, but not the best way. Many games will keep some recharge services in the game to allow players to get quick wins. You can always get any number of stubs at Xbox or PlayStation store with real money. Sometimes you can also find the stubs discount. The general steps are as follows:
- Log in to Xbox/PlayStation store.
- Go to MLB 25 page and look for stub offers.
- Choose the one discount that suits you best and unlocks it.
- Log in to your game and check if stubs have been added to your account.
2. Completing Programs
There are many programs in the game, which are similar to battle passes in other games. You need to complete various challenges in the game to unlock rewards. These rewards include experience points, player cards, card packs, and MLB The Show 25 Stubs. As long as you complete Tokyo Series, Pipeline or New Threads program, you can get these rewards for free.
There are many challenges, some of which require you to complete specific operations with specific players or specific teams. Some require you to get enough XP with players from a certain team. After completing the challenge, you will get stars, and accumulating enough stars will unlock the corresponding reward.
Each challenge has a certain connection with the previous one. If you want to complete the next challenge, you have to use some player cards included in the reward of each program. After unlocking all the rewards of a program, you can basically build a strong team.
3. Sell Duplicate Cards
When you open a card pack, you can always get some duplicate cards, such as some bronze cards or silver cards. Duplicate cards are almost useless for your team, so you can sell them. If you think this is also troublesome, you can check your inventory every once in a while and get rid of all the duplicate cards at once.
Here are the steps:
- Find “My Inventory” option.
- Find a player card that has at least one duplicate.
- Go to “View in Market” and sell the card.
- You can also use “Sell Order” function, which will sell the cards once someone needs them.
Because the value of bronze and silver cards is not high, you can’t accumulate too many stubs in the short term, but after a week or half a month, you can accumulate hundreds of thousands of stubs.
4. Conquest Playthrough
Conquest mode is a good way to quickly get card packs and stubs. You need to play and win at least one three-game match in each Stronghold to complete Conquest map.
You only need to complete each Conquest to receive various Diamond Dynasty mode rewards. Including Headliners Pack, The Show Pack, Stubs, and XP rewards. After opening the card pack, duplicate cards can also be exchanged for stubs.
5. Mini Seasons
Mini Seasons rotate throughout the year, and sometimes you can get wonderful rewards. You can also choose the classic mini season, which is less difficult, but the rewards are not very generous.
Mini Seasons have no difficulty requirements, so you can still get rewards even if you play at the lowest difficulty. The packages usually contain silver players, but sometimes gold players can appear if you are lucky. Duplicate players can be traded for stubs.
6. Diamond Quest
Diamond Quest is also a mini-game that provides free rewards. To get these rewards, you need to complete the challenges in the game mode. Completing higher difficulty challenges will get you more generous rewards. Although Diamond Quest does not directly provide stubs, it is the most efficient way to earn various cards. For duplicate cards, you can exchange them for stubs, which is also very efficient in obtaining stubs.
However, compared with Conquest mode or Mini Seasons, this Diamond Quest is more difficult. You’d better familiarize yourself with the map in advance, otherwise you may fail in the mission. In addition, you’d better focus on the missions that can obtain players. It is too difficult to get all the rewards in one pass, so you can complete them in several times.
7. Card Flipping In Marketplace
Because the value of players is not static, they fluctuate most of the time, so as long as you know how to use card flipping correctly, you can easily accumulate millions of stubs through card flipping.
These methods may help you.
- It is best to flip cards when the difference between the get value and the sell value of the player is large.
- Since there is a 10% tax on each card sold, you need to consider how much profit you can get before considering selling a card.
- It is more profitable to create a sell order than to sell the card immediately. However, whether the order can be completed depends on the market.
- Gold card players are in greater demand, and you can choose to collect cards from a specific series to sell according to market conditions.
- Websites such as ShowZone and Showdd.io can help you understand the fluctuations in the value of cards.
These are the 7 ways to get stubs in MLB The Show 25. As long as you learn each way, you will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of stubs.
MLB The Show 25 Chicago White Sox Rebuilding Challenge: How To Rebuild This Team?
Chicago White Sox had an awful season, they had a record of 41 wins and 121 losses in last season, and it is hard to imagine how low the morale of White Sox will be. In the 2025 season, Chicago White Sox will undoubtedly be at the bottom.
Chicago White Sox fired manager Pedro Grifol in August 2024 and appointed Texas Rangers assistant manager Will Vanaber as manager on November 1, 2024. It is not known whether Will Vanaber can lead White Sox out of the vortex of failure, but you can do it in the game. You can play as the manager of White Sox in MLB The Show 25 and bring White Sox back to the ranks of winners.
Rebuilding White Sox
The hope of making White Sox win in 2025 is very slim because there are not many players to trade. And White Sox players are not strong enough to bring you valuable assets. You need to know which players you have on your team and consider whether they should stay or go.
In addition, you should also focus on players under 30 years old with potential. You need to keep these players until they can be traded or in the free agency or get an upgrade opportunity.
Top Rated Players
- CF Luis Robert Jr. (76 Overall Rating, 100 stubs)
- CP Penn Murfee (72 Overall Rating, 30 stubs)
- SP Davis Martin (68 Overall Rating, 30 stubs)
- RF Mike Tauchman (73 Overall Rating, 70 stubs)
- CF Michael A. Taylor (72 Overall Rating, 30 stubs)
- SP Bryse Wilson (73 Overall Rating, 70 stubs)
Luis Robert Jr. is only 28 years old this year and has a potential of B. His rating is relatively high, with 76 points, so you can build your team around him. Luis Robert Jr. is very solid on both offense and defense, so he has the potential to perform well on the court.
White Sox have a number of other top rated players who are over 30 years old, including Penn Murfee, Mike Tauchman and Michael A. Taylor. Unfortunately, they don’t have much room to grow, so you need to trade them.
Players Who Stay
- CF Luis Robert Jr. (76 Overall Rating, 100 stubs)
- SP Bryse Wilson (73 Overall Rating, 70 stubs)
- SP Drew Thorpe (69 Overall Rating, 30 stubs)
- SS Colson Montgomery (83 Overall Rating, 670 stubs)
- C Kyle Teel (85 Overall Rating, 1550-1800 stubs)
- SP Noah Schultz (87 Overall Rating, 8700 stubs)
This list of players is based on their statistics and potential. Noah Schultz and Colson Montgomery both have good stats in the game, and as long as they can be promoted from the minor leagues to the major leagues and enter the starting lineup, they can make up for the team’s current shortcomings. Building a team around them can save you a lot of MLB The Show 25 Stubs. Noah Schultz can stay in the minor leagues for one more year and wait until 2026 to join the team.
Positions Needed
- Left Fielder
- Third Baseman
- Catcher
- Relief Pitcher
White Sox currently lacks talented players in these four positions. There are almost no good bullpen pitchers in White Sox. Murfee’s relief pitcher with an overall rating of 72 is the best pitcher of White Sox, followed by Cam Booser (overall rating of 65), and James Karincha is now a free agent. You need to find better free agents to make up for this.
Bobby Dalbec and Josh Rojas are three pitchers, both over 30 years old, and there is no room for Du Shao to improve, so it is best to find a young player to replace him after 2025.
White Sox don’t have many good catchers, and 23-year-old Kyle Teel is the best option to move up and get him in the game. Behind him are Matt Thaiss and Korey Lee, who have an overall rating of 68 and 69 respectively, so they can be backups, but if Teel doesn’t make the progress he needs, look for a better catcher in the free market.
Left fielder Andrew Benintendi is also over 30 years old, with an overall rating of 71 and a potential of B, so he doesn’t have much room for improvement, but he can still be a starting pitcher. Corey Julks is another option, with an overall rating of 68 but a potential of C, so it’s better to trade him.
Free Agents
- RP Carl Edwards Jr. 74 overall
- SP Jorge Visperas 70 overall
- 3B Nick Senzel 68 overall
- LF Alex Verdugo 74 overall
- C Yasmani Grandal 72 overall
First year had to rely on free agents to help White Sox get through the tough times. The players you must sign in the free agent market are Carl Edwards Jr. and Nick Senzel.
Although Edwards is older, his pitching data is very good, which makes him better than most relief pitchers, but this is just a stopgap measure. The 29-year-old Nick Senzel can be arranged to enter your team first and then trade him next year.
Jorge Visperas, Alex Verdugo and Yasmani Grandal are all good signing targets. They have similar ratings and can be used as starters. Visperas is only 24 years old this year, so you can keep him.
First Year Trade Targets
- CF Roman Anthony, Boston Red Sox: 67 overall
- 2B Travis Bazzana, Cleveland Guardians: 65 overall
These two players are young, strong, and can be traded, so they are ideal trade targets in 2025. Roman Anthony has A potential and is only 20 years old. He is a future star in MLB 25 and has great potential. The 22-year-old Travis Bazzana also has A potential, and it might be better to put him at third base.
How To End The 2025 Season?
White Sox’s current lineup is unlikely to make the 2025 playoffs, so simply give up the 2025 season, invest in young players, and put the chance of winning in the future. As long as Chicago White Sox eventually win 60 to 75 games, they will have a chance to qualify for the wild card in 2026.
There are many things to consider in order to save such a team, because the Chicago White Sox is almost at its lowest point. Even players will not choose White Sox players in Diamond Dynasty, but it is precisely because of this that it is challenging for such a team to win.

Platinum Trophy
- Left It All Out There: Unlock all the above trophies.
While the trophies are divided into four types: platinum, gold, silver, and bronze, some bronze and gold trophies are more difficult to unlock. In the current trophy completion statistics, Left It All Out There and HOF Worthy have the least number of unlocked players, at 12.59% and 18.64%, respectively. Only these two trophies are currently rare trophies, while the other trophies are currently common or uncommon trophies. And the number of players who have unlocked these trophies has reached more than 20%. Players who want to complete all achievements can use MLB The Show 25 Stubs to exchange for some players with higher total scores, who can better help you complete the achievement.
The trophies with the lowest number of unlocked players among the silver trophies are: Why We Play and Take it Or Leave It, with their unlocking rates of only 20.14% and 20.07%, respectively. The trophies with the lowest number of unlocked players among the bronze trophies are First of Many, Building an Empire, and Play My Way, with unlocking players accounting for 28.23%, 23.13%, and 29.66%, respectively.
This time, the trophies are mainly based on MTO or Franchise mode, which does not require too many stubs. More importantly, you have to have enough patience to play these modes. You can play in offline mode to reduce the difficulty of unlocking these trophies. The above is about the trophies in MLB The Show 25 and their unlocking conditions. I hope you have enough time and energy to unlock all the trophies.
