Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
MLB announced finalists for the 2022 Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young, and MVP awards yesterday. David Adler at MLB posted a breakdown of the nominees. Winners will be announced next week, starting with the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year awards on November 14. I’ll be handicapping the nominees for each category ahead of the announcements, starting with ROY.
Steven Kwan, Julio Rodriguez and Adley Rutschman are the finalists for the American League Rookie of the Year Award pic.
