The release (and re-release) of Gold Glove nominees and Comeback Player of the Year results leave KC Royals’ fans scratching their heads.
As a follow up to an earlier story, Salvador Perez was rightly nominated for Comeback Player of the Year by the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). After an injury sidelined him all of 2019, Perez rebounded to have his best season ever offensively and made zero errors behind the plate for the KC Royals.
He did have stiff competition as one of the other players identified for the award was not battling an injury but a potentially life-threatening illness.
