Matt Olson snubbed for 2020 Gold Glove award

Throughout 2020, it feels like everything we know about the world has been flipped on its head. The MLB season only loosely resembled a normal campaign, U.S. politics have gone haywire, and daily life in America has been altered in unprecedented ways. Also, murder hornets. It’s been a weird year.

Amid the added stress of all that change and uncertainty, it’s nice to know there is still one constant in today’s modern world. The Gold Gloves are still a joke.

OK, that’s a bit harsh. The defensive awards were announced Tuesday, and most of them rank between reasonable and definitely correct.
