Top Recommendations to Add

Based on early community feedback from showdd.io and New Baseball Media, here are the standout cards you should consider:

• Jhoan Duran (91 OVR Spotlight) – The top pick from this drop. His fast sinker paired with the “Outlier” pitch boost makes him one of the most effective relievers in the game. Ideal for late-inning dominance.
• Willson Contreras (91 OVR Spotlight) – A solid 1B option with great hitting stats. Perfect if you need an offensive upgrade or are building a Red Sox-themed lineup.
• Gavin Sheets (90 OVR Topps Now) – Earned as a program reward, Sheets is a reliable left-handed bat with high power potential. Great for early-game lineups needing a strong first baseman.
• Angel Martinez (91 OVR Spotlight) – A versatile utility player who can slot into multiple positions. Excellent for adding roster flexibility without sacrificing stats.
