Two members of the Oakland A’s won Gold Glove Awards on Sunday, but it’s not quite the same pair we’ve become used to.
Third baseman Matt Chapman won as usual, for the third time in the last four years, and he was joined by somebody new as catcher Sean Murphy earned his first award.
Meanwhile, first baseman Matt Olson was denied what would have been his third nod in four years. He was named as a finalist but didn’t win, marking his second straight year getting snubbed.
