As MLB’s offseason officially begins, the league will wrap up the 2022 season by announcing the season’s award winners over the next few weeks. On Monday, MLB announced the top three finalists for each of the four major awards in each league: MVP, Cy Young, Manager of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
For the most part, the finalists are not a surprise. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani lead the way in the AL MVP race, while Sandy Alcántara and Justin Verlander are finalists for the NL and AL Cy Young awards, respectively.
Next Monday, the Rookie of the Year awards will be announced first, followed by Manager of the Year, Cy Young, then MVP through Nov.
