SEATTLE -- Mariners FanFest is returning in a big way. The club’s first such event since 2019 -- slated for Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 -- has already sold out its first day, and tickets are going fast for the finale. Attendance at FanFest is limited to just more than

If we had a dime for every time we’ve said or used the word “tools” at MLB Pipeline … we’d sure have a lot of dimes. Tools are, of course, the building blocks for prospects, and a lot of time is spent evaluating all of them to try to determine

Félix Hernández is back on the ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame. The talented right-hander received 20.6% of the vote for the Class of 2025, his debut year on the BBWAA ballot, and he has a long way to go to reach the 75% threshold for induction. Now in

Welcome to the fourth annual MLB Pipeline Executive Poll. Starting before the 2023 season, we surveyed front offices across baseball -- from general managers to scouting directors, farm directors, analysts and beyond -- on a number of questions regarding prospects. As has been our tradition, we’re beginning with who they

The new year is for new starts, the unknown and the to-be-determined. No one can perfectly say what will happen in this 2026 calendar year, but we can certainly take a few highly educated guesses. In the land of Minor League Baseball, there may not be a more sought-after prediction

The calendar has flipped over to 2026, and we already have year-end awards on our minds here at MLB Pipeline. In 2025, we picked two of the three American League Rookie of the Year finalists in the Athletics' Jacob Wilson and Roman Anthony of the Red Sox. And we singled

Oh look, the guy who didn’t pick Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani to win MVP honors in 2025 is back with more awards predictions. This ought to go well. Hey, I could have used this space one year ago to predict repeats in those races, as well as the AL

One year ago, the Hall of Fame conversation centered on three players: the near-unanimous Ichiro Suzuki, clear first-ballot choice CC Sabathia, and long-deferred Billy Wagner. The 2026 cycle is another matter. We’ve arrived at a page in the Cooperstown story without an obvious main character. Welcome to the “Comfort Plus”

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for
