Earlier tonight MLB and the BBWAA announced finalists for 2018’s major awards. That is the Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young, and Most Valuable Player. The league has been announcing three finalists for each award in each league for a few years now. They’re trying to drum up interest.
As expected, both Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres are among the AL Rookie of the Year finalists. They’re up against Angels righty-slash-slugger Shohei Ohtani. Here are all the award finalists. The Yankees did not have any other finalists, which isn’t surprising.
