If you’re building a Padres-themed team or just want the Silver version for collections, this method is simple.
Target Team Affinity Packs
Open Team Affinity – Bronze/Silver – SD packs. These packs have roughly a 1 in 2 chance of containing his card, making them far more reliable than standard packs.
Community Marketplace Purchase
The 79 OVR card usually costs around 1,500 stubs in packs. Buying directly from the Marketplace can save time and often stubs compared to chasing the 1:676 odds in regular packs.
Stack Missions
While grinding the Mexico City Conquest map, use a lineup filled with Padres players. This lets you progress multiple Team Affinity missions at the same time.
Mini Seasons Loop
Play WBC Mini Seasons on Rookie difficulty. This is a fast way to farm standard packs, which can occasionally contain Laureano or other useful rewards.
Twitch Drops
Keep an eye on MLB The Show 26 streams with Drops Enabled. Watching for just a few hours can earn you extra packs for free, boosting your chances of pulling Laureano.
