The Braves haven’t had much luck with end-of-season awards in recent years, but that will almost certainly change in 2018. With a candidate (or two) in the running in just about every race it should be a nice way for the Braves’ individual efforts to be recognized. Let’s take a quick look at each of the award races as we near the midway point of September.
NL MVP
Braves candidates: Freddie Freeman, Ronald Acuña Jr., Nick Markakis
When I say “candidates” I don’t mean that Markakis is going to be the league’s MVP.
