Finalists for the 2018 Gold Glove awards were announced on Thursday, and the Oakland A’s have several names in the running for baseball’s top defensive distinction. The A’s entire infield was nominated at their respective positions, including first baseman Matt Olson, second baseman Jed Lowrie, shortstop Marcus Semien, and third baseman Matt Chapman. Winners will be announced Nov. 4.
Three players are nominated for each of the nine positions, with a separate award for each league. That means there are 54 total finalists, and four of them are from the A’s.
