Sandy Alcantara finally presented with his Cy Young award
You may be confused by this headline, vaguely remembering that Sandy Alcantara was already honored as the 2022 National League Cy Young award winner during the offseason. Flown to New York with his friends and family courtesy of Miami Marlins owner Bruce Sherman, Alcantara took the stage, gave a speech and posed for photos at the annual BBWAA dinner, an event organized by the writers who unanimously voted for him to win the first Cy Young in franchise history.
