We previewed the May Monthly Awards yesterday, and so only some of what’s in the actual MLB The Show 20 Diamond Dynasty program should be news to you. That being said, I was wrong about Josh Bell being the top award, as it turns out Carlos Correa is the top selection. Both had Face of the Franchise cards already, so it was an educated guess based on past usage by players than anything else. The other new player revealed today was Alex Wood.
With all that being said, let’s break it all down because the entire program is now out.
