Didn't we know this? Did we just know that it was coming to PC?

Nope. In the contrary, MLB is one of the best selling sport franchise in US, despite it is was exclusive to PS platform for years.

I believe it was a requirement for Sony to keep the MLB license to publish on all available platforms that it could

Because they had to put it on all platforms or lose the MLB license. The Show is a huge seller.

It was either make it multiplatform, or lose the license. There should also be a Switch version, I think.

I'm positive it was MLB pushing for this.
Sony probably is looking forward to a few more sales this way, though.

I think MLB forced them to make it multiplatform, they could've gone to another developer easily.
I do wonder if they will gimp the xbox/pc versions tho

The APPman became quite the infamous Sony stan on Twitter and YouTube, known for their emotional fanboy takes on gaming news. Their reactions to MLB going multiplatform and HZD coming to Steam were... interesting to say the least.

Correct. In order for Sony to keep the MLB contract, they had to go multiplatorm.
And I would hope that Sony wouldn’t hobble the game. Microsoft hasn’t hobbled Minecraft or Minecraft Dungeons for the PS4/PS5...Sony did a good enough job of that on their own.

Me before clicking: They should have Fernando Tatis Jr. on the cover.
Got it right, fellas.

So PlayStation will be on an Xbox box before Xbox is on a PlayStation box. Too funny, I knew that Psychonauts 2 would be published by Xbox Game Studios (although so far, it's unclear on if there will be a boxed-copy release of Psychonauts 2?), but MS has been on other consoles in the past and that was only kind-of-mindbending to think about. Now my world (my precious, useless world of organized brand affiliation) really is flipped upside down.
Curiously though, the XGS branding also gets used on Xboxes, but not on non-Microsoft systems. The back of the box for Switch (I assume similar for PS4/3/Vita) does say "© 2018 Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB.", and then it lists "Microsoft Studios" instead of "Xbox Game Studios".
Also funny, the boxed copies of Minecraft Dungeons as Mojang on the front for PS/SW, but for Xbox, they seem to have forgotten the logo entirely.
Of course, who really cares except for the lawyers, but all of this is interesting and fascinating to see go down if you're old enough to be invested in the brands.
So, it shouldn't be a surprise to see an Xbox MLB The Show game in 2021, but the first multiplatform MLB also could have been 2022 and not Xbox. But the good thing (for people that don't have PlayStations) is that it is this year and it's at least Xbox, hopefully more.
Technically, Minecraft was "published" on all platforms (including PlayStation and Nintendo consoles/portables) by Mojang.

It was officially announced that the franchise would go multiplatform, but exactly what that meant was not confirmed and still not official. If The Show was just going to PlayStation and then Mobile (or PlayStation and Stadia, that would have been comical,) maybe the press release would have been more clear. Specifically, the press release said, "additional console platforms as early as 2021", which left out confirmations of which platforms and also when to expect multiplatform releases.
