The Kansas City Royals have seen their fair share of award love this offseason, largely thanks to Bobby Witt Jr. collecting precious metals like he works in the mining industry after winning both Gold and Platinum Gloves as well as a Silver Slugger Award.
However, Witt wasn't the only Royals All-Star that seemed poised to receive his time in the award limelight.
While no one was expecting him to be among those with a top shot at winning MVP, Maikel Garcia seemed like a shoo-in to take home honors like a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger or even All-MLB Team recognition.
