Selling Squadmates in MLB The Show 23: From Benchwarmer to Ballin' Out
Ah, the age-old question in Diamond Dynasty: how do I ditch that third-string outfielder who can't hit a beach ball and free up some Stubs for a real slugger? Fear not, fellow baseball enthusiasts, for this guide will turn you from a garage sale rookie to a wheeler-dealer extraordinaire!
Step 1: Accepting the Inevitable
We've all been there. You pack heat with a rookie pick, only to discover they have the baserunning instincts of a confused gopher. Let's face it, some players just weren't meant for the big leagues (of your Diamond Dynasty team, at least). But fret not, their baseball dreams can live on with another team... maybe.
Step 2: The Art of the Marketplace
The Marketplace is your personal garage sale, with a much wider audience (and hopefully less chance of rain). Here's where you'll find potential buyers for your unwanted diamond... er, dud. Navigating the Marketplace can be tricky, so pay attention, sunshine!
- "Sell Now" vs. "Sell Order": "Sell Now" means you're practically begging someone to take this guy off your hands. Use it for common players or if you just REALLY need Stubs fast. "Sell Order" lets you set your price and wait for a buyer to come along. Think of it as a fancy garage sale sign.
- Price it Right, or Price it to Lose Stubs: This is where the art comes in. Check the "Current" and "Recent" prices for similar players to get a ballpark estimate (pun intended!). Don't be greedy! Overpriced players gather dust faster than a forgotten box of baseball cards in your attic.
Step 3: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When You're Selling a Backup Catcher)
Unless you've got a prized possession on your hands, selling that backup catcher might take some time. Don't get discouraged! Check back on your listings regularly and adjust prices if needed. You can also try undercutting the competition by a few Stubs – it's like a fire sale, but digital!
Bonus Tip: The Power of Public Perception
Let's be honest, some players are like participation trophies – everyone gets one, but nobody really wants it. But fear not, there's a secret weapon! Equip your player with some snazzy gear! A cool bat or some flashy cleats might just catch someone's eye and make them think, "Hey, maybe this benchwarmer has hidden potential!" (Spoiler alert: they probably don't, but hey, it's worth a shot!)
So there you have it, folks! With a little know-how and a dash of humor (because let's face it, selling a bad player can be funny!), you'll be a master of the Marketplace in no time. Remember, one man's trash is another man's... slightly less terrible backup outfielder. Now get out there and turn those benchwarmers into ballin' out bucks!
