The Giants' historic season might have ended prematurely, but the man who guided them to a franchise record 107 wins now has some hardware to show for it.
San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler won the National League's Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday, while Kevin Cash took home the honors in the American League for the second straight year.
After taking the Giants to a 29–31 record in his first season with the club, Kapler oversaw a breakout campaign in 2021. San Francisco was not viewed as a threat to the defending champion Dodgers coming into the season, but the Giants relied on a veteran group and some key acquisitions to hold off Los Angeles for the team's first NL West title since 2012.
