Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor named Silver Slugger finalists

Franciso Lindor and Pete Alonso have each been named as one of three finalists for the NL Silver Slugger award at shortstop and first base respectively. Lindor has previously won three silver sluggers - two with the Guardians, and one with the Mets in 2023 - while Alonso has never won.

Lindor’s nomination is no surprise, and he should probably be a shoe in to win the award. Excluding Mookie Betts, who played only part of the season at shortstop and missed a large chunk of the season to boot, Lindor was far and away the best offensive shortstop in the National League.
