MLB The Show 21 - April Monthly Awards Program Features Vlad Jr. and Buxton

The Monthly Awards program is back, and it’s generally one of the most popular programs in Diamond Dynasty. With this MLB The Show 21 April Monthly Awards program, the headliners include Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Shohei Ohtani, and Byron Buxton.

You will need to collect 25 players from the April Topps Now and the Monthly Awards program (out of a possible 26) in order to get to 100 points to complete the program and get Buxton. This tracks with how it worked in last year’s game, so that’s why it’s never a bad idea to complete the Topps Now moments each week as they come out. You will get more Topps Now packs while completing missions in the Monthly Awards program, so you don’t really need to buy too many players in the marketplace if you don’t want to speed up the process. In addition, prices will go up right now on some of those Topps Now cards (again, this is why it’s always good hoarding some of these Topps Now cards in the short term to sell them right now) before they dip back down once the excitement dies down.
