The Major League Baseball Players Association announced finalists for a bevy of awards on Wednesday. No surprise the KC Royals catcher was included.
One special thing about being nominated for this is that it is voted on by your peers. The winners will be announced on Oct. 22 and Salvador Perez has a good chance to bring this award back to the KC Royals. Despite missing time this year with vision problems, his fellow players realized that he was doing something special after the prolonged layoff.
Perez has had the injury bug bite him in each of the last four years but the damage done to his UCL in 2019 required the Tommy John surgery and cost him the entire season.
