This afternoon the Major League Baseball Players Association announced the finalists for the 2020 Awards that are voted on for the players. There are only four awards in play here, and only one Cincinnati Reds player was announced as a finalist (of three). Trevor Bauer, to the surprise of no one, as named one of the finalists for outstanding pitcher in the National League. He’s joined by Chicago Cubs starter Yu Darvish and New York Mets starter Jacob deGrom.
These votes are done by the players themselves. Take that for what you will – it may mean more to the players who win because it was their peers that actually chimed in with their opinion on who was the best.
