Benchwarmer Blues: How to Unshackle a Player from Your MLB The Show Squad
Ah, the dreaded benchwarmer. You ripped open a pack, saw a star player shimmering with potential, and immediately slotted them into your starting lineup. But then... reality bites. Their swing mechanics look like a confused windmill, and their fielding makes you question the very fabric of baseball. Time to cut your losses, buddy! But before you release them into the wild world of the trade block, you gotta unsquad them first.
Don't Be That Guy: The Perils of a Clogged Lineup
Let's face it, having a player stuck in your squad like a forgotten gym sock is no bueno. Here's why:
- Moral Dilemma: Is it ethical to keep someone on the bench when they could be, you know, actually playing? Imagine the existential dread!
- Market Woes: You can't sell a player that's already on a team (unless you're some shady baseball underworld kingpin, which we don't endorse).
- Lineup Logjam: Need space for that hot prospect you just acquired? Gotta make room in the inn, or your team morale will be lower than a ground ball through the shift.
The good news? Unsquading a player is easier than hitting a walk-off homer (although maybe not quite as thrilling).
The Great Unsquadening: A Step-by-Step Guide (with Minimal Tears)
- Fire Up The Show: This might seem obvious, but hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
- Head to "Manage Squad": This is where the magic (and possibly some minor digital paperwork) happens.
- Behold! Your Glorious Lineup: Here you'll see your team in all its, well, glory. Spot the player you're ready to say "see ya later" to.
- The Bench is Their New Throne (For Now): Click on the player, then navigate to the bench icon. This is like a baseball retirement ceremony, but way less awkward.
- Feel Free to Shed a Single Manly Tear (Optional): We understand, letting go is tough. But remember, there's a whole world of potential trades waiting!
Congratulations! You've successfully unsquadded a player. Now you can sell them, use them as trade bait, or, heck, even put them back in the lineup if you're feeling particularly forgiving (and desperate).
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of benchwarmers, consider creating a "Rehab Squad" for slightly less talented players. It's like baseball summer camp, but hopefully with fewer dodgeball injuries.
So there you have it, folks! Now go forth and conquer the MLB The Show market, with a clean and uncluttered squad by your side. Remember, a good team manager knows when to hold 'em and when to... well, you get the idea.
