The 2012 National League Rookie of the Year, 2015 National League MVP, and 2018 Homerun Derby champ, Bryce Harper will be gracing the cover of this year’s MLB The Show 19.
Because it’s still not known where Mondo will go next season, the cover art for the game currently has the six-time all-star depicted without a jersey. This morning on PlayStation.blog, San Diego Studio announced that it was partnering with the outfielder to reveal his next team on the game’s final cover.
According to the Chicago Tribune this morning, Haper’s prior team, the Washington Nationals will make Mondo an official qualifying offer before Friday’s deadline, which means he’ll likely reject the offer because it’s less than he made in 2018. Harper became a free agent this off season after the Washington Nationals had a less than stellar run in the 2017-18 season.
MLB The Show 19 will be hitting store shelves March 26 and is available now for pre-order. If you still haven’t played MLB The Show 18, you can check out our review to see if it’s a home run.
