Jason Heyward and Yu Darvish of the Chicago Cubs and Jose Abreu and Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox earned high respect from their peers in voting for the 2020 Players Choice Awards.
Heyward is one of three finalists for the Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award, given to the player who earned the most respect “based on his leadership on the field and in the community.” Heyward has been extremely active in assisting those in need because of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as raising awareness about social injustice.
Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo won the award in 2017.
