Does anyone know if Panini is done with producing baseball product? If so what happened?

Rumor is Capstone was the last Panini baseball product under the MLBPA license but there hasn't been an official announcement that I've seen.

Looks like 2023 Donruss and 2023 Stars & Stripes are now scheduled. Donruss will be using Prospects, HoFers & Legends to complete the set. Stars & Stripes are team USA players.

The prospects thing should be interesting. I didn't dig too deep on it but I would have thought they were covered under the MLBPA umbrella since they're members now. Of course some of them could have chosen not to be members and sign exclusives I guess.

Last I knew you weren't part of the MLBPA until you were on the 40-man roster.

Part of the last CBA process was adding all minor league players to the MLBPA for representation. All minor leaguers became MLBPA members as of August last year. I don't know to what extent that includes at the moment.
