NL West

The NL West has been clinched. The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured their first postseason berth since 2009.

Pop the champagne! Jump in the Diamondbacks’ pool!

While the Colorado Rockies are currently bringing up the rear in the NL West standings, there are a slew of prospects in their system exceeding expectations.

The Modesto Nuts served as the only team in the system to make the Minor League postseason, but there are still prospects scattered around the organization producing.

The Rockies have the talent on offense to compete at a high level. It’s just a matter of taking the farm talent and filling in the cracks for 2014.

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Friday that the San Francisco Giants have started negotiations with impending free-agent right fielder Hunter Pence.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez has been held out of the lineup for Friday night's game against the San Francisco Giants after leaving last night's 3-2 win with an injured hamstring.

Ramirez was pulled out of the game in the top of the seventh inning by manager Don Mattingly with "mild left hamstring tightness," according to the team.

Envious of how Cuban stars have guided several of their MLB rivals into playoff contention, the San Francisco Giants continue to make a strong push for free-agent slugger Jose Dariel Abreu.

As the season winds down and rumors start to float about what kind of moves might be made heading into next season, it’s time to take a look at what the Dodgers might do prior to the 2014 season.

While we’re not overlooking the end of this year—the team has a legitimate chance to win the World Series for the first time in 25 years—front offices are always prepared to act the moment the season ends, so a quick primer on what might happen is useful.

It's safe to say the first two years after Juan Uribe signed a free-agent contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers were a complete disaster.

On Friday, embattled Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig collected a double, three singles and two stolen bases on his way to a four-hit night. His performance certainly helped lead the way in the Dodgers' 9-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.

For just the second time in four years, there'll be no World Series championship to celebrate in San Francisco.

In fact, the Giants are on pace to finish with 90 losses for the first time since 2008 and in last place for the first time since 2007. Going into today, they were 15.5 games back of a wild-card spot. So why is there any reason to keep watching them play seemingly meaningless games in September? 

Hunter Pence channeled his inner Hulk to blast the longest home run of the 2013 MLB season.

As Pence's San Francisco Giants took on the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, Pence stepped up to the plate in the first inning with a runner on first and two outs.
