From stunning comebacks to thrilling walk-offs to dominant pitching performances, every team had its share of memorable triumphs in 2024. But what was each club’s signature win of the season?

Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, considered the greatest leadoff hitter in history and MLB’s all-time leader in stolen bases, leadoff home runs and runs scored, has passed away. He was 65. “For multiple generations of baseball fans, Rickey Henderson was the gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting,” Commissioner

DALLAS – Arms were on the menu during Wednesday afternoon’s Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings. A total of 15 players were taken in the Major League phase of this year’s Rule 5 and 11 of them were pitchers. It started when the White Sox took right-hander Shane Smith

DALLAS -- These Winter Meetings were markedly less eventful for the Padres than the past two. No blockbuster Juan Soto trade. No Xander Bogaerts mega-contract. A productive week nonetheless, said general manager A.J. Preller, as he readied to leave Dallas on Wednesday.

DALLAS -- The Padres' search for starting pitching will take center stage over the next few weeks, and -- naturally -- much of the focus will center around their pursuit of Roki Sasaki. Rightly so. Sasaki is perhaps the top available free agent, now that Juan Soto has agreed to

Ever since Roki Sasaki's agent, Joel Wolfe, met with the media at the Winter Meetings, there’s been speculation about which team might be the best fit to land the prized right-hander, who was recently posted by his Japanese team, the Chiba Lotte Marines. As one executive put it when asked

The 2025 Draft may still be seven months away but it's also in the news. MLB Pipeline released its initial Draft Top 100 late last week and MLB staged the Draft Lottery on Tuesday evening at the Winter Meetings.

DALLAS -- And so begins the Padres' offseason. Or the single most important part of the Padres' offseason, at least. On Monday, right-hander Roki Sasaki was posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. The negotiating window for clubs will begin

MLB Pipeline gives our organizational Top 30 prospect rankings complete refreshes twice per calendar year (once in spring, once in-season) and provides other live updates as graduations and other transactions necessitate them.

While a solid percentage of picks in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire year.

SAN DIEGO -- In October, when Padres general manager A.J. Preller sat down to hammer out a contract extension for manager Mike Shildt, there was one very clear point of agreement between the two. "The things that our [coaching] staff brought to the table … it was pretty easy to

Merv Rettenmund, who played 13 seasons in the Major Leagues before becoming a respected hitting coach after his playing days ended, passed away on Saturday at the age of 81. Rettenmund made his MLB debut with the 1968 Orioles and was a member of Baltimore’s pennant-winning teams from 1969-71. Rettenmund

Major League Baseball’s Draft Lottery will take place at the Winter Meetings in Dallas on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ET. It’s time to get to know who the 16 teams eligible for the lottery are hoping to get a chance to select. MLB Pipeline’s new 2025 Top 100 Draft Prospects

A year ago, we provided one Rookie of the Year candidate for every team. How’d we do? We nailed the NL top rookie (Paul Skenes) and also picked out two others who received votes (Jackson Chourio and Mason Miller). That’s a good enough success rate to try the whole exercise

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres reshuffled their roster ahead of Friday's deadline to tender contracts to players. Most notably, the club agreed to a one-year contract with utilityman Tyler Wade -- a deal that includes a team option for the 2026 season. Additionally, the Padres did not tender contracts to

Now that the Arizona Fall League has crowned a new champion and MLB's awards season is winding down, the baseball world in the United States is preparing to turn its attention to the Hot Stove. But that doesn't mean baseball isn't being played. There are plenty of exciting and talented
