August 7 Roster Update: Quiet Friday as MLB The Show 26 Handles Transactions
The August 7, 2026 roster update is a minor one—16 rating changes (3 up, 3 down), 11 position switches, and 7 new cards added to reflect recent MLB transactions. Nothing moves the Diamond Dynasty needle significantly, but a few names are worth tracking if you're flipping commons and bronzes.
The Moves That (Barely) Matter
Will Dion (Nationals) leads the upgrade pack with a 55→61 jump, staying Common. Jake Eder (Free Agents) crosses into Bronze at 65 OVR despite a 14-point Control drop—his quick-sell floor resets, which could create short-term flip opportunities if his buy orders lag. Khristian Curtis (Pirates) sneaks up to 58 OVR.
On the downgrade side, Michael Fulmer tumbles from 71→65 OVR and falls out of Bronze entirely despite gaining H/9 and K/9 vs. righties—his K/9 vs. lefties crater dropped him. Germán Márquez and Alan Rangel also shed tiers, losing their Bronze quick-sell cushion.
New Additions
Seven fresh cards hit the database, headlined by relievers Jorge Alcala (70 OVR) and Enoli Paredes (68 OVR), both Bronze. None are remotely viable for competitive squads.
