The famous NFTs license Sorare launches its new blockchain game in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB). Since yesterday, users have access to the new marketplace and can take part in the first competitions, thanks to 13 “Common” cards offered.
Baseball comes to Sorare with MLB
Sorare, the platform already known for its blockchain fantasy football game, is diversifying with the arrival of Major League Baseball (MLB). It is now possible to collect non-fungible tokens (NFT) in the image of the players and teams of this iconic sport:
We are LIVE! ⚾️
Our Marketplace is OPEN. All @MLB players in Limited and Rare cards are up for grabs… starting now. Not to mention, some Super Rares.

To make the user experience easier, baseball is available on the same account as football, just click on one or the other from the home page:

Upon first visit, a pack of 13 “Common” rarity cards is provided. This allows you to start playing for free
Game mechanics
The same mechanics as football are found in Sorare MLB, except that you will have to field seven NFT cards per day instead of five. The rarity levels remain the same, but the number of copies has been increased, probably to fit the American market :
- Common: unlimited number;
- Uncommon: 5000 copies;
- Rare: 1000 ;
- Super Rare: 100 ;
- Unique.
Each week is divided into two “Game Weeks”, one from Monday to Thursday and one from Friday to Sunday. Several divisions are available to us depending on the qualities of the cards we have. The aim is to score as many points as possible in order to win more NFTs. Again, the points will depend on the performance of the players represented on the cards during real life matches.
The marketplace is also open, allowing the purchase of new cards at auction, but also access to the secondary market:

As stated last May when the new game was announced, this diversification is an interesting strategic choice for Sorare. Indeed, the American market is vast, and the popularity of baseball on the other side of the Atlantic suggests a new success for the French unicorn.
