In a world of big tools and top prospects, these Minor Leaguer players stood out amongst the rest in 2025. They were the names that could be found atop the statistical leaderboards all summer, the top performers over the marathon that is the Minor League season. Here are the Minor

April represents about one-sixth of the baseball season and generally gives us about one-sixth of the information needed to predict what will happen by the end of September. As we’re seeing in this and every other month, things you thought you knew can suddenly become unpredictable. What looks like a

CHICAGO -- Long before he signed with the Padres, Gavin Sheets knew precisely what kind of opportunity he was seeking. He had broken out as a rookie for the 2021 American League Central champion White Sox. In ’22, as the White Sox chased a return trip to the playoffs, he

CHICAGO -- Dylan Cease returned to the mound at Rate Field on Friday night for the first time since he was traded from the White Sox to the Padres 18 months ago. At the time, the move was a stunner. Not because the White Sox traded Cease -- but because

It happens every fall, without fail: Some reliever gets red-hot, then his manager rides him as much as feasible because that is what situation demands -- and yet he gets the job done so often, so regularly, that he helps push his team to greater heights, simply because that’s what

NEW YORK -- In so many ways, the Padres’ three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field this week was an appetizer for postseason baseball. And, hey, maybe the Padres will be able to draw on the experience when they’re playing a best-of-three Wild Card Series on the road. Because

NEW YORK -- Manny Machado enjoyed this one. Probably because he knew what it meant. With the bases loaded and the game tied in the top of the fifth inning on Wednesday night, Mets starter David Peterson left a curveball over the heart of the plate. Machado did what he’s

With the Minor League season winding down -- the Triple-A regular season ends this week while the other leagues are either in the playoffs or have crowned a champion -- we decided it was time to start reviewing how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.

NEW YORK -- So many of the Padres' playoff plans were predicated on Michael King being, well, Michael King. The guy who started Game 1 of the postseason for them last year and Opening Day in March. The guy who finished seventh in National League Cy Young voting last season

As with the MVP and Cy Young Awards, the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards will often feature familiar faces, as certain players' reputations continue to shine. But sometimes, new names join the mix to stake a claim among the best defenders in the game. That could happen again this season, as

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres needed a game like that one. Through the first five games of the homestand, the Padres scored 11 runs. They had a collective slash line of .168/.225/.284 and batted .088 with runners in scoring position.

SAN DIEGO -- Here’s the three-pronged truth about the Padres right now: They’re playing well enough for a Wild Card spot. They’re not playing well enough to win the division. And if they want to win in October, they’re going to need to play a whole lot better than this.

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres’ vaunted bullpen took another hit on Friday. They hope it’s a manageable one. Right-hander David Morgan, a breakout rookie who has helped nail down the middle innings, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to

A Hall of Fame resume is built from all sorts of materials, from MVPs to Cy Youngs to All-Star teams to counting stats to just how much fans (and media) loved you. But one of the most impressive ones is the simplest one: Did you win a World Series? Obviously,
