The Managers of the Year were announced at the end of Day 2 of the GM Meetings, with Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks taking the National League award and Paul Molitor of the Minnesota Twins the American League. Voting was conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Runners-up in the NL were Bud Black of the Colorado Rockies and Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the AL, Molitor edged out Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians and A.J. Hinch of the World Champion Houston Astros.
No major player moves were announced yesterday, but there were plenty of rumors.
