2. holy cow i thought it was just going to be shortstops, they’re going all in on the youth this rules

3. Okay they are making this year kinda interesting

4. I AM SPARTACUS

5. Okay so we’re trying some viral shit and they’re all on it or something

6. Youth Cover? 🤔

7. u/MyChemicalMaiden in shambles 

8. When does the game come out

9. I wonder if each console will have a different player.

10. Alright now Jackson Chourio needs to post

11. If this MLBTS cover isn’t a Lil Wayne elementary school style cover with all of them then I don’t want it.

12. Did MLB finally hire someone to run marketing campaigns promoting young stars on social media?

13. This is super fun

14. They’re all fighting over who gets cursed first

15. I really hope that MLB The Show actually has nothing to do with this and the players are just goofing around

16. I love how this is unfolding.

17. This is dumb, a totally obvious marketing scheme, and yet I kind of completely love it?

18. Bring it to PC you cowards

19. It would be very funny if the next video was from, like Justin Verlander.

20. Clearly this whole thing is a marketing thing from the get go.

21. It’s actually gonna end up being Rich Hill

22. the real cover is the friends we made along the way

23. It should have been Bobby!

24. Next person up: Anthony Rendon

25. It’s almost as if it’s a coordinated advertising campaign for MLB The Show.

26. the “MLB the Show” cover is gonna be one of those old school WWF Royal Rumble covers with 30 players on the cover

27. 

28. 

29. Someone from every team is gonna post that they’re supposed to be on the cover aren’t they?

30. Maybe the MLB The Show 2025 cover athlete is the 2006 Time Person of the Year

31. Everyone going to look real stupid when it turns out to be a Chicago Whitesox (White sock?) on the cover

32. If I was in the MLB, I’d make the same claim.

    Back of the bench, utility guy, doesn’t change a thing, still making that claim

33. I hope it’s all three of them kissing

34. I broke the dam

35. Some real “I’m Spartacus!” energy goin on

36. One of them will be on the cover this year and the other two will be deferred to later years.

37. I’m Sparticus! No I am Sparticus! No I am a marketing ploy to make ppl talk about my product!

38. I’m the cover athlete.

    

39. It’s just different pre-order bundles with cards and shit. Probably like 5 different “versions”

40. Pretty smart. Has people talking. Likely different players for different versions. I’ll get it digitally like I always do.
