MLB The Show 22 Roster Update: Seiya Suzuki joins with first transactions

The first MLB The Show 22 Roster Update is here, though it's worth clarifying that this one is only a minor transactions focused update.

The first full attribute update hasn't yet been announced, and it will include significantly more ratings changes with players all across the league moving up and down with their Live Series cards.

However, Sony San Diego is aiming to drop a transactions focused MLB The Show 22 Roster Update each week regardless of whether they've got a full attribute update coming along with it.

Among the biggest highlights this time is the addition of Seiya Suzuki, who just missed the cut to get into MLB The Show 22 at launch.
