MLB The Show 18 Content and Roster Updates Available Now

After releasing Patch 1.10 earlier today, San Diego Studio (SDS) released another huge content update for MLB The Show 18. This comes just in time for Memorial Day, and some of the new cards are themed for the holiday. Here’s everything you need to know.
