On Tuesday, the MLB Players Association announced the shortlist of candidates for the Comeback Player of the Year award. Now, I don’t mean to besmirch the MLBPA and how their players opted to vote this year, and I don’t mean to be cliched with defining “comeback,” but since we’re here, let’s do the latter.
A comeback is “a return by a well-known person, especially an entertainer or sports player, to the activity in which they have formerly been successful.” According to the voting results, that includes Michael Brantley in Cleveland, Edwin Jackson in Oakland, and David Price.
The American League @MLB_Players have voted!
