How to Get More Stubs After MLB The Show 26 Game Update 6

With Game Update 6 rolling out in MLB The Show 26, players are noticing improvements, including fixes for freezes and enhanced Trade HUB logic. But what most players are really focusing on now is how to get more stubs—MLB The Show's in-game currency—especially after the update. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned player, there are several methods you can use to rake in more stubs, from offline grinds to smart marketplace management.

Here's a guide on the best ways to earn stubs following Game Update 6.

Offline Grinds That Maximize Stub Rewards

1. April Showers Conquest Map

The April Showers Conquest Map is one of the most efficient ways to earn stubs after the update. This newly released map gives you a direct path to stubs, packs, and various rewards.

• Tip: Instead of capturing every territory, focus on completing specific missions. By doing this, you'll finish faster and collect the maximum number of rewards, including the Bullpen Bash Choice Pack.

The April Showers Conquest Map is designed for efficient grinding, so get in and out with the right strategy!

2. WBC Mini Seasons

If you're looking for an easy way to farm stubs, the WBC Mini Seasons is an excellent choice. Players often use this mode on Rookie difficulty to make it as quick and efficient as possible.

• Strategy: Play short games where you score one or two runs, then bunt to finish the game quickly. This method allows you to rack up wins and unlock rewards faster. Winning the championship provides vouchers for high-value packs, which often contain valuable players that can be sold for stubs.

3. Diamond Quest Repeatables

One of the best ways to earn a large amount of stubs is through the Diamond Quest repeatable objectives. These are top-tier in terms of rewards, with each successful run bringing in a significant number of stubs.

• Reward Estimate: A solid run can yield up to 20,000 stubs through card rewards and direct stubs. The Diamond Quest is an excellent way to "print" stubs without having to buy them.

Marketplace & Inventory Management

1. Silver-to-Gold Exchange

A low-risk method that many players overlook is the Silver-to-Gold exchange. The idea here is to find Silver cards that are priced near their quicksell value (around 1,000 stubs), and then exchange them for a Gold Pack.

• How It Works: For every 18,000 exchange points, you'll get a Gold Pack that could contain valuable cards rated 83+. Many of these Gold-rated cards are worth a premium on the marketplace, so this is a smart way to make stubs with minimal investment.

2. Sell Excess Equipment

If you aren't focusing on your Create-A-Player in Road to the Show, it's a great idea to sell off any extra equipment you've earned. High-tier Diamond equipment—like bats, gloves, and cleats—can sell for tens of thousands of stubs.

• Tip: Take inventory of any duplicate or excess equipment and list it on the marketplace. The Diamond equipment is in high demand, so you can make a nice profit by selling what you don't need.

3. Clear Out Duplicate Stadiums and Sponsorships

It's easy to overlook the value in duplicate stadiums, uniforms, and sponsorships. Many players don't realize how much these items can be worth.

• Tip: Check your inventory for duplicates and quick-sell them. Selling just a few duplicate items could net you between 10,000 to 20,000 stubs in an instant. Many players leave these minor assets collecting dust, but clearing them out can make a significant difference in your stubs balance.

Live Content & Program Grinds

1. 2nd Inning XP Path

The 2nd Inning XP Path offers one of the most reliable ways to earn large chunks of stubs over time. By progressing through the path, you unlock valuable rewards, including stubs and "Now & Later" vouchers, which can be used later for additional stubs or rare items.

• Tip: Stay on top of this program and focus on completing the daily and weekly objectives to progress quickly. The rewards are well worth the effort, especially as you reach the later stages.

2. Challenge of the Week 5

Every week, MLB The Show 26 introduces a Challenge of the Week, and Challenge of the Week 5 featuring Kyle Schwarber vs. Zac Gallen is another great way to earn repeatable rewards. These challenges are designed to be short and easy, allowing you to get in and out with stubs in hand.

• Tip: Make sure to participate in these challenges each week. Completing them regularly can lead to a nice stash of stubs, especially with multiple repeatable rewards available.

Game Update 6 (Patch Notes)

Deployed on April 15, 2026, this update 6 addresses stability and visual fidelity across multiple modes:

• City Connect Uniforms: Added 2026 City Connect jerseys for the Braves, Orioles, Reds, Royals, Brewers, and Padres.
• Diamond Dynasty: Fixed issues with incorrect team displays in Live Series collections, potential freezes after exiting moments, and corrupted player card art.
• Franchise Mode: Added a recommended market strategy to the Trade Hub and improved trade alert readability. Updated home start times for the Cubs, Guardians, and Astros.

Summary

Game Update 6 has introduced some great opportunities for stubs farming, whether you're grinding offline or managing your marketplace inventory. The key is to balance your time between efficient offline grinds and leveraging the marketplace with smart buying and selling tactics.

By utilizing strategies like the April Showers Conquest Map, WBC Mini Seasons, and Diamond Quest repeatables, you can earn a steady stream of stubs. Additionally, don't forget to manage your inventory by selling excess equipment and clearing out duplicate items.
