With the World Series over and the 2023 Major League Baseball season officially concluded, awards season is in full swing. The Rockies continued their Silver Slugger drought, for which they haven’t had a winner since 2019. Meanwhile, Brenton Doyle took home the Gold Glove for National League center fielders, the only one of the Rockies’ three finalists to win. However, the “big deal” awards are still around the corner.
On Monday evening, MLB announced the finalists for the 2023 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) awards. When you have a season like the Colorado Rockies did, it’s no surprise that BBWAA voters weren’t exactly lining up to hand out the hardware.
