The Rule 5 Draft can be a fascinating, if imperfect, process, and you only need to look at last year’s edition to see why. On one hand, the White Sox selected Shane Smith from the Brewers and watched him blossom into an All-Star before finishing with a 3.81 ERA and

With executives from all 30 teams set to descend on Orlando, Fla., for the annual Winter Meetings, the Hot Stove may be on the verge of heating up. Though some clubs have already made some moves this offseason, every team still has plenty of questions to answer between now and

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. In the words of a great bird I once met, “Gobble, gobble.” Thanksgiving is not a holiday traditionally associated with baseball, but if you’re reading a baseball site on Thanksgiving Day, you know that in a just world, every holiday is one associated with baseball. So today,

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres’ week of roster shuffling is complete.

At the moment, the Padres find themselves in the midst of the franchise’s best run of success in its 56-year history. Nonetheless, their first five decades featured plenty of spectacular moments, too -- from brilliant defensive plays, to singular offensive performances to, well, just about everything Tony Gwynn ever did.

SAN DIEGO -- If it wasn’t obvious before, it should be now: The Padres need starting pitching. Badly. Both Dylan Cease and Michael King declined their qualifying offers ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, as was largely expected.

SAN DIEGO -- In need of pitching anywhere they can find it, the Padres made sure on Tuesday that two of their most promising young arms would not be left exposed to next month’s Rule 5 Draft. San Diego added right-handers Miguel Mendez and Garrett Hawkins to its 40-man roster

LAS VEGAS -- This week marked the unofficial start of baseball’s Hot Stove season, with the General Managers Meetings, followed by the MLB Awards. Here are four takeaways from the week in Las Vegas for the Padres: Do they address their ‘top need’ by looking to their biggest strength? The
