As the first full week of the MLB offseason began on Monday, awards season continued, and once again, both past and present Braves were recognized. In terms of the present, Max Fried, Brian Snitker, Spencer Strider, and Michael Harris II all were among the finalists for BBWAA awards. Though Fried and Snitker may have an uphill battle to win the Cy Young or Manager of the year in the National League, it seems pretty certain Strider or Michael Harris will win the NL Rookie of the year award.
Monday also brought news of a few former Braves who once again could have a shot at finally reaching the Hall of Fame.
