Well, it’s official. San Francisco Giants lefty Carlos Rodón will not be winning the 2022 National League Cy Young Award. MLB released the Cy Young finalists on Monday, which is a silly task since they already know who won and are just slow-playing it.
Rodón was not among the three finalists, meaning, at best, that he’ll finish in fourth place for the award.
The finalists were Miami Marlins righty Sandy Alcántara, Atlanta Braves lefty Max Fried, and Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Julio Urías.
Urías is the most questionable inclusion, and I’m fascinated to see how the voting broke down when MLB releases the detailed votes.
