This isn’t just a dry awards show. The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Show, scheduled to air live on ESPN at 8 p.m. CT, will also include a special edition of Baseball Tonight’s Web Gems, highlighting the best defensive plays of the season. I’m pretty sure you’ll see some of Javier Baez in there.
Javy, along with Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward, are the three Cubs “finalists” for Gold Gloves at their positions (second base, first base and right field, respectively). I put “finalists” in quotes because these aren’t really “finalists,” they’re simply the three top vote-getters at each position.
