Award Finalists

MLB announced the the top finalists for each of the four big awards in each league, MVP, Cy Young, Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year.

Tom Tango Cy Young Tracker points slightly disagrees with the NL top three. That ranking places Madison Bumgarner ahead of Kyle Hendricks. It’s tough to keep the league leader in ERA off the list, however. The voters agree with the top three in the AL, however, Justin Verlander, Corey Kluber, and Rick Porcello.

The Nationals have a member of the team up for all four awards on the NL side. Max Scherzer is the one likely to take home a prize.

I’m impressed that Gary Sanchez made the ROY list. He played a short but productive season.

The awards will be announced next week, Monday through Thursday.
