Despite playing in the 2020 World Series, the Tampa Bay Rays will not have any Golden Glove Awards winners.
The nominations for this season’s awards were announced Thursday, but Tampa Bay Rays players did not feature in any position. The nominees were announced on the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) website but, shockingly, no Rays players were deemed exceptional enough to feature. The selection process has been done solely by using the SABR Defensive Index (SDI) this year.
