Play Conquest Maps and Mini Seasons

Conquest and Mini Seasons are goldmines for free Stubs. Both modes reward you for completing territories, missions, and MLB The Show 25 Stubs championships.

Conquest Maps: Each map has multiple goals — from capturing strongholds to stealing fans. Finishing maps often gives you 5,000 to 20,000 Stubs, depending on the difficulty.

Mini Seasons: These short, offline seasons let you rack up rewards quickly. Winning championships and completing player stat objectives can easily earn you another 10,000+ Stubs.

You’ll also collect packs and XP, making these modes ideal for players who enjoy consistent progress without spending money.

Grind Programs and Team Affinity

The Programs system in MLB The Show 25 is one of the best long-term Stub generators. Completing Program objectives — such as earning XP, collecting cards, or achieving milestones — grants Stubs, packs, and player rewards.

Similarly, Team Affinity programs reward players for performing with specific MLB teams. Each stage gives you Stubs, plus exclusive player cards that can be sold on the Marketplace for even more.

To maximize rewards, play across multiple teams. Every division or league program you complete stacks Stub bonuses.

Master the Marketplace – Buy Low, Sell High

The Community Marketplace is where the smartest players earn the most Stubs. Like a real economy, card prices rise and fall based on demand, events, and roster updates.

Here’s how to make the most out of it:

Buy Low: Target cards that dip in price after new pack drops or events.

Sell High: Wait for prices to spike, usually when collections or new programs release.

Flip Cards: Buy a card slightly under market value and immediately relist it higher.

For example, flipping 20 bronze or silver cards for small profits each can easily net you 5,000–10,000 Stubs daily.

Avoid Quick Sell: While convenient, quick selling gives you less value than listing on cheap MLB Stubs the Marketplace. Always sell through player-to-player trades for maximum profit.
