Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The 2022 BBWAA award announcements wrapped up last night with the presentation of the AL and NL Most Valuable Player awards, won by the Yankees’ Aaron Judge and the Cardinals’ Paul Goldschmidt, respectively. Neither winner was much of a surprise, especially Judge, who broke the AL home run record with his historic 62-dinger season. Pretty good way to head into free agency, I’d say. More players should consider doing that.
The Orioles, as usual, were barely represented in the final voting breakdown. Adley Rutschman was the only Oriole to appear in any of the 30 AL voters’ ballots, which each run 10 deep.
