The MLB postseason has concluded and now the Philadelphia Phillies, along with every other team, will reset for the offseason. As the offseason gets underway, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) has their annual awards to hand out. It's an honor to be recognized, and luckily for Phillies fans, they have three representatives this time around.
Lefty starter Cristopher Sánchez was named an NL Cy Young Award finalist. Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber was named an NL MVP Award finalist. Rob Thomson was also honored as an NL Manager of the Year finalist. All three are very distinguished awards to be a finalist for, but the Phillies will have a hard time trying to take them home this year.
