The Baseball Writers’ Association of America announced on Monday the finalists for this year’s MLB Awards.

The awards include Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young Award, and Most Valuable Player.

Here are the finalists for each award.

Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year (announced Monday, Nov. 9)

AL: Cristian Javier (Houston Astros), Kyle Lewis (Seattle Mariners), Luis Robert (Chicago White Sox)
NL: Alec Bohm (Philadelphia Phillies), Jake Cronenworth (San Diego Padres), Devin Williams (Milwaukee Brewers)

Manager of the Year (announced Tuesday, Nov. 10)

In addition to these awards, the Silver Slugger winners will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards will be announced on Friday, Nov. 6.

One of the oddities from the awards finalists announcement on Monday came from the Chicago White Sox. Their Twitter account congratulated Rick Renteria on being named a finalist for AL Manager of the Year despite him being fired by the team.

As awkward as that is, we have seen the situation play out before.
