The Astros already have a Rookie of the Year winner in Yordan Alvarez, which was largely just a formality after the impressive year he had. What comes next will be figuring out if the Astros can sweep the Rookie of the Year, MVP and Cy Young awards, and there’s a chance it could happen.
It’s all but guaranteed that an Astros player will win the Cy Young — the question is which one. Both Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole have strong cases, stronger than fellow finalist Charlie Morton.
