Please visit https://www.u4gm.com/mlb-the-show-25-stubs. MLB The Show 25 has rolled out some of its most ambitious content yet. With the arrival of John Donaldson, the 8th Inning program, and Moonshot 2.0, Sony San Diego has delivered major value to Diamond Dynasty players. These additions expand the legend pool, refresh missions and collections, and give players multiple routes to powerful 99 overall cards.
John Donaldson: A New Legend with Depth
Perhaps the biggest name in the recent drop is John Donaldson. Known for his dual threat as both a starting pitcher and two‑way option, Donaldson’s inclusion in MLB The Show 25 offers a compelling choice for players who want dominance on the mound. While the older versions of Donaldson have already made waves in previous seasons, this new version continues to impress with its combination of pitches and elevated stats.
To acquire Donaldson, Diamond Dynasty players must collect vouchers or cards from milestone programs or related legend programs, depending on their progress. Donaldson serves as a high tier milestone or rewards path, meaning that investing time in the 8th Inning program or foiling certain collections can net you this elite card. For many players, Donaldson represents not just power, but utility: a player who can shut down lineups or add value from multiple roles in your squad.
8th Inning Program: Late Game Heroes
The 8th Inning program is designed around high‑impact legends—players who performed in clutch situations or who are remembered for closing out innings and games. It gives players a reward path focused on XP, missions, and special boss or choice packs that lead to 99 overall legends.
This program fits neatly into the late‑season grind many players are doing. With double XP and PXP (Player XP) often attached to these modes or programs, the 8th Inning content becomes much more accessible. Players who have been waiting for powerful legend cards without spending stubs can now feel optimistic—they can work through matches across modes, collect needed items, finish missions, and ultimately pick up massive rewards. Names like Mike Piazza, Pedro Martinez, or Vladimir Guerrero may even become choices in this program, depending on the card drop, choice pack, or boss reward. The 8th Inning path rewards those who have persistently played or held off until the legends pool refreshed, making this program not just a content drop, but a celebration of endurance and skill.
Moonshot 2.0: High Flying Collectibility
Moonshot 2.0 adds another dimension to the player acquisition strategy. While 8th Inning is largely about late game heroic legends and path rewards, Moonshot 2.0 emphasizes moments, collections, missions, and optional event content to unlock strong cards. It offers multiple pieces: a program reward path where you get incremental rewards by completing Moments, optional Extreme Moments, and mission tasks. Collect enough Moonshot cards and you unlock stars like Hank Aaron, Joe Mauer, Matt Holliday, and others—all at 99 overall.
Moonshot 2.0 also introduces full choice packs, collection thresholds, and stat challenges tied to home runs and PXP accumulation. It gives players with different play‑styles (some who like solo missions, some who like collecting) something to chase. Unlike some content that only benefits wholesale grinders or pack buyers, Moonshot 2.0 has achievable goals for more casual or mid‑tier players too, especially if they are focused and consistent.
Why This Drop Matters
Together, John Donaldson, 8th Inning, and Moonshot 2.0 represent a coming together of many threads in MLB The Show 25. They give players multiple entry points to great cards. They reward both competitive and casual players. They bring back legends players have longed for, and give fresh paths to achieve 99 OVR cards without purely relying on purchases.
Additionally, this content refresh keeps Diamond Dynasty vibrant. Nearing the end of a game cycle players often feel counted out of major content drops. But with these legends, missions, and special programs, there is renewed reason to log in, grind, collect, and strategize.
Strategy Tips for Players
To make the most of this drop:
Prioritize the missions in Moonshot 2.0 that offer big rewards early. Some Moments and Extreme Moments will be more time‑efficient than chasing every single side task.
Use the 8th Inning path to farm XP in modes you already play. Since XP is often tied to performance plus duration, players can double‑dip by doing regular matches.
Track collection thresholds. Sometimes holding off on selling or using certain cards until you can complete a required collection makes sense.
Invest wisely: John Donaldson is powerful, but balancing your roster with both legends and high utility cards is essential.
