MLB The Show 26 Final Roster Update (November 6, 2026): Four New Diamonds, Eight New Golds, and Ratings Locked for the Year
The November 6, 2026 roster update is the last one of the MLB The Show 26 cycle, and it goes out on an overwhelmingly positive note. Of the 172 Live Series cards that changed, 111 were upgrades and exactly one was a downgrade. Another 49 cards picked up position changes, and no new cards were added. With no more roster updates coming, these are the ratings your Live Series cards keep until MLB The Show 27.
The New Diamonds
Four cards crossed into the Diamond tier, and two of them are Brewers. Trevor Megill goes from 84 to 87 OVR on +5 bumps to H/9 vs R, K/9 vs R and K/9 vs L. Teammate William Contreras makes the biggest jump of the group, 81 to 85, on the back of a +15 to Contact vs R and +10 Clutch. That makes him a Diamond catcher with real bat-to-ball upside against right-handers.
On the pitching side, the Rays' Bryan Baker matches Megill at 87 OVR (up from 83, with K/9 vs L +7 leading the way). The Guardians' Gavin Williams squeaks over the line from 84 to 85 with H/9 vs R +8. Each of these cards gets a Gold-to-Diamond quick-sell jump that resets its price floor, and that is usually where the biggest single-day price spikes of an update happen.
Eight Cards Cross Into Gold
The Gold tier took in eight Silvers. The headliner is Aaron Ashby, who has the largest upgrade of the entire update: 75 to 83 OVR, driven by a massive +16 to H/9 vs R plus +9 K/9 vs L. Michael King isn't far behind, climbing from 78 to 84 with +12 H/9 vs R. Robert Gasser also crossed (78 to 81), which gives the Brewers four of the twelve tier crossings in this update.
The rest of the new Golds:
- Tanner Scott (Dodgers), 79 to 81, with +10 to both K/9 splits
- Kyle Tucker (Dodgers), 79 to 81, with Contact R +10 and Contact L +6
- Chase DeLauter (Guardians), 79 to 81, with Contact R +10 and Vision +5
- Foster Griffin (Guardians), 78 to 81
- Didier Fuentes (Braves), 78 to 81
Farther down the ladder, Paul Blackburn moved from Bronze to Silver (72 to 78 with +10 Pitching Clutch). Slade Cecconi (61 to 67, K/9 vs L +15) and Ryan Rolison (63 to 69) both climbed out of Common. Ray Kerr gained seven points, going from 65 to 72.
The Lone Downgrade
Only one card lost ground: the Padres' Ramón Laureano, who drops from 78 to 76 on -7 to both Contact splits and -3 Vision. He stays Silver, so his quick-sell tier doesn't change. If he was a bench bat in your lineup, though, it's worth looking for a replacement.
What It Means for Your Squad and the Market
Because this is the final update, nothing you buy now is a bet on the next one. Upgraded cards will hold these ratings through the rest of the year, so any price changes from here on come from collection demand and supply, not ratings speculation. If you were holding Silver or Gold Live Series cards in hopes of a tier jump, this was the last chance. Cards that didn't move today won't move again in MLB The Show 26, so it's a good time to sell any speculative holds that missed.
