Maddon finishes 2nd in NL MOY Award voting

In two seasons in Chicago, Maddon has guided the team to 200 wins, the most by a Cubs manager in consecutive seasons since Frank Chance won 208 in 1909-10. Maddon is the second manager in franchise history to reach the playoffs in his first two seasons, joining Lou Piniella, who did so in 2007 and '08.

The last manager to win the BBWAA award in consecutive seasons was the Braves' Bobby Cox, who won in 2004 and '05. Cox and Tony La Russa are the only managers to win the award four times.

Esurance MLB Awards week concludes Friday on MLB Network and MLB.
