I’ll admit that I can generally take or leave award races like the MVP or the Cy Young, but this year I was pretty intrigued. That was mostly because the results weren’t as clear-cut as they often are, with late-season injuries playing a significant factor. In the end, that might have cost Christian Yelich his chance to win the NL MVP award that went to Cody Bellinger, but it didn’t hurt Mike Trout, who edged out the rest of the AL with his third time receiving the honour.
If that wasn’t enough to keep you interested, there was a little nugget for Blue Jays fans to enjoy as well.
