J.D., Yelich named 2018 Aaron Award winners

LOS ANGELES -- The Red Sox and Brewers went into last offseason looking for a lineup boost. They came out of it with two of the most productive hitters in baseball.

J.D. Martinez and Christian Yelich were prized pickups, and now they've both won MLB's most prestigious offensive prize. On Friday, Martinez and Yelich were announced as the American League and National League winners of the 2018 Hank Aaron Award. A formal presentation was scheduled to take place prior to Game 3 of the World Series between Martinez's Red Sox and the Dodgers, with Aaron in attendance.
