SAN FRANCISCO --Ryan Walker was a revelation for the Giants in 2024. But his ‘25 campaign proved to be far more turbulent than expected. The 30-year-old right-hander entered the season as San Francisco’s closer, a role he ascended to amid Camilo Doval’s struggles the previous year. But the two ended

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs

There are 27 players on the 2026 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Hall of Fame ballot, and their careers went in so many different directions. Some were paragons of stability.
