MLB.com has launched its exclusive offseason subscription package with the live streaming of the championship game from Major League Baseball’s prestigious prospect development league, the Arizona Fall League, on November 22 at 2:30 p.m. EST.

The offseason package, which is available now at MLB.TV,, is highlighted by nearly 50 hours of exclusive coverage from the annual Baseball Winter Meetings, which begin on December 8 and will culminate with MLB.com’s live pick-by-pick streaming of the Rule 5 Draft on December 11. Shane Victorino of the World Series Champion Phillies, 2008 Home Run Derby champion Josh Hamilton and two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana are among the players chosen in past Rule 5 Drafts.

Additional benefits to offseason package subscribers include:

This is a good way to stir interest to baseball during off-season. For me, I’m 100% focused on football during winter.
