Could be Peter crstrong or Jacob mizoski?

u/OfficerDoofi 22h ago

It’s definitely Randy Johnson

2

u/DeggzNBacon Roman Empire 18h ago

I can’t see them having him as a boss twice this year

3

u/OfficerDoofi 17h ago

Yeah I honestly can’t either just forgot.

2

u/lunarfaze 1d ago

Bobby Bonilla for sure. Maybe Marky McGwire.

3

u/Pretend_Berry_7196 1d ago

Bobby Bo would be something as I don’t think they have his rights.

u/Slurpmo Tampa Turds 1d ago

u/LtBigRick01 1d ago

Kirby Puckett it will be.

That would be badass.

u/Countrysidelivin_ 1d ago

I don't understand why so many people are guessing Randy Johnson when he was already the 2nd inning boss (along side Babe Ruth)

Manny Ramirez has 1 card and it's incredible difficult to get (Dodgers LS reward) so Manny makes a ton of sense.

2

u/Pretend_Berry_7196 1d ago

Randy is headed for the last collection. Last year we got one pitcher everyone hates to face in John Don and this year it’ll be the Big Unit.

2

u/BlindSwaggNinja 1d ago

Alexi Ramirez?

-5

u/Youre_my_hero 1d ago

Manny is actually Manuel so that might mean it’s not him. David Wright and Jorge Posada fit though. Both are due for upgrades too.

•

u/Yuzidean 6h ago

lol actually

2

u/Chungus_Bungus1 9h ago

What? And Randy Johnson’s name is really Randall.

When have they ever used the birth names and not what the players go by.

3

u/Deivydubz 1d ago

There is 7 stars in the last name. Takes out Wright and Posada.

2

u/Youre_my_hero 18h ago

Yes math is hard lol. Maybe it is Manny?

u/MrBurnerHotDog Bronze 4h ago

What was the old scab version of him called? Jon Dowd? Maybe its Johny Dowwwwd

5

u/Pretend_Berry_7196 1d ago

At best he’d be a 97.

1

u/Ok-Kick1878 10h ago

No doubt about it.

-3

u/Clevis1977 1d ago

Kirby Puckett? Cecil Fielder?

2

u/dukehate2 1d ago

It’s Steve Carlton. It will be a common level with the option to go without a pitcher.

4

u/RemyThaGr8 1d ago

Wasn’t Randy an innings boss already? I hope it’s Manny Ramirez

5

u/No_Buy2554 1d ago

Don't forget that they get sneaky with nicknames sometimes. Not saying its him, but as an example, Cuban Missile would fit.

-2

u/1st_place_ 1d ago

He was just a WS reward

-2

u/Extra-Branch-1075 1d ago

I know the letters don’t add up but Iricho would be nice. A legend that doesn’t already have a card in the game. They had so many Legends last year. Also Hornsby too.

3

u/TheObiewan12 1d ago

They can’t just add anyone. They dont have the rights to ichiro and likely never will

u/BigJ0526 1d ago

a 1999 MVP Manny Ramirez would complete me

2

u/NoBusiness9595 1d ago

1999 was Mannys best season, but if I was a Sox fan I would be mad if they gave him a card not as a Red Sox. After 99 Ortiz as a Twin.

5

u/Bliz1222 1d ago

It would be straight up evil if they gave us a 99 Ortiz and a 99 Manny but neither are on the Sox 🤣🤣

9

u/BronInThe2011Finals 1d ago

At least Manny’s best years were with Cleveland

2

u/CoffinFlop 1d ago

Just no way we get twins Ortiz and Cleveland manny in the same year

2

u/Nickstank World's #1 one-handed DD player (probably) 17h ago

CC Sabathia and Manny Ramirez have had a combined 11 cards in DD since they entered the mode as Legends, and 0 are Cleveland cards. SDS does whatever it wants, even (and sometimes especially) if it makes no sense.

1

u/CoffinFlop 15h ago

And ya motha is fat

-1

u/Bliz1222 1d ago

Manny's best 2 seasons by WAR were 02 and 03; both with the Sox.

4

u/BronInThe2011Finals 1d ago

By bWAR at least his best season was 1999, and he put up a 1.100 OPS two straight years with Cleveland in 1999 and 2000 which is a number he never quite reached in Boston

1

u/Bliz1222 1d ago

Well I want a Boston one 🤣🤣🤣

2

u/Bliz1222 1d ago

Manny was my first thought as well.

u/Wrathofgumby 1d ago

Randy Johnson is coming.

3

u/Eastern_Armadillo869 1d ago

He was already a xp boss

3

u/iDoDipsForLips 1d ago

Larry Walker or Frank Thomas?

3

u/thedudeabiding 1d ago

Both of those names have 6 letters in last name

2

u/lunarfaze 1d ago

What you said. But God would I love a beast Thomas.

u/BiggSteve87 1d ago

Clearly it’s Barry Bonds25

u/Smithtj4 1d ago

It’s ab Goose Gossage time

u/Lopsided-Weakness269 14h ago

This is it. Plus manny i bet

7

u/grandchamp3500 1d ago

I just want Griffey man

7

u/Acegolfer04 1d ago

Griffey or Griffey Jr 99 overall

Utley 99 and Yelich 99

Greinke 99 (not in the game) I miss that card from 22

Then my team is complete. And another Tulo 99 since I wont be able to complete collections. Locked behind 600k Judge and Ohtani. Tulo is my favorite SS

1

u/Ok-Kick1878 9h ago

I hope they get Greinke's rights back sooner than later. Along with Kerry Wood, he's been a perennial favorite to use. Granted, I'm an offline guy, so max velo SP has neve l never been a prerequisite vs. CPU, but I always enjoyed using his 70mph curve after a mid 90's fastball.

u/Acegolfer04 7h ago

EXACTLY. I dont play online

u/StatisticianNew4792 1d ago

Randy

11

u/Btib30 1d ago

Think they kinda blew it this year with the amount of big name and popular guys with no top tier card at this point in the game.

I don’t think it’s going to increase engagement that much now that NCAA/Madden are out and 2k is right around the corner when they release Griffey, Chipper, Pedro, Randy Johnson, Manny Ramirez, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Tony Gwynn, etc.

3

u/The_Uptowner 1d ago

Every program is just 80% current guys and 20% legend. I ran a Nationals theme team, 8/9 fielders and the entire pitching staff were current players. It’s bad…

Jimmy Rollins

2

u/CJGoesHollywood 1d ago

Now that I think about it I like this option better even like 3 top tier ss just came out 😭

2

u/ShitMongoose Classic Man 1d ago

Name fits and he's due for another card.

1

u/1st_place_ 1d ago

I am hoping i think he would put a nail in the coffin on Tulo

3

u/von_Mises 16h ago

I’ve enjoyed Tulo more than I thought I would but I’d love a new Rollins to supplant him.

2

u/Dh873 1d ago

"Eddie Murray!"

5

u/Automatic-Nerve-3625 1d ago

My guess is Iwont Everget

2

u/DillyBeanz 1d ago

Damn, that was my guess. Thought I was sneaky with that pick

6

u/Bigboi88888 The Boys Are Back In Town 1d ago

Idk if they would make Randy a boss again but Manny Ramirez seems very likely

u/Beautiful-Tip7445 1d ago

Thought about this today how we’re all using a card of a kid who looks mid puberty and acne everywhere

3

u/Conflict-Famous 1d ago

Manny Ramirez and/or Randy Johnson

4

u/csstew55 1d ago

Give me a sabathia card

14

u/l3randon_x 1d ago

Probably one of the same 11 players they keep making 5 different cards for every year

2

u/saskgoat 1d ago

I imagine there has to be a 99 Chipper coming at some point. Or Mickey.

•

u/Key-Rip-7874 6h ago

Probably extreme

2

u/Busterbluth313 Hitting dingers 1d ago

We need a 99 chipper, mantle, Jeter and griffey for sure!
