The pool of new Legends in MLB The Show 25 has the community buzzing. Ted Williams, Roger Clemens, Jose Bautista, Carlos Beltran ... there are so many marquee names new to the game.
But just as SDS can purchase the rights to new Legends, it can also lose the rights to others. Reddit user Ja_snake_ has posted the lost Legends list each of the past two game cycles, and based on his research of offline rosters, the following players have been removed from MLB The Show.
This list is subject to change.
- Mariano Rivera
- John Smoltz
- Rich Aurilia
- Brian Wilson
- Paul Konerko
- Dante Bichette
- Kevin Youkilis
- Johnny Damon

- Mike Schmidt
- Bret Saberhagen
- Tom Henke
