Royals catcher Salvador Perez is one step closer to claiming his fifth straight Gold Glove Award. One of four Royals unveiled as finalists at their respective positions on Thursday, Perez could join second baseman Frank White as the only players in franchise history to win the award five straight times.
Lorenzo Cain was also voted one of three finalists in center field for the first time since 2013. First baseman Eric Hosmer and left fielder Alex Gordon were also selected as finalists again. Neither won a Gold Glove last season.
This year’s winners will be announced on Nov.
