Friday Bird Droppings: A strong MVP showing for Gunnar and Adley

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

MLB’s awards week wrapped up yesterday, and what a week it was for the Orioles, who boasted both the unanimous AL Rookie of the Year winner, Gunnar Henderson, and the AL Manager of the Year, Brandon Hyde.

The Orioles also put up impressive showings in the categories they didn’t win. Kyle Bradish finished in fourth place in the AL Cy Young vote after a breakout performance in his first full season. And in yesterday’s AL Most Valuable Player reveal — won unanimously by Shohei Ohtani, as expected — the Orioles’ young superstar duo of Henderson and Adley Rutschman finished in eighth and ninth place, respectively.
