Good morning, Camden Chatters.
As the old saying goes, there are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Orioles players getting shut out of MLB’s major awards.
Last night, MLB announced the three finalists per league for each of the the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s major end-of-season awards: Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year. There was nary an Oriole to be found on any list.
That’s obviously not a surprise in three of those categories. Cedric Mullins might have gotten a few down-ballot MVP votes, but certainly not enough to put him in the top three.
