MLB has announced the finalists for each of 10 awards voted on by the BBWAA, including the MVP and Cy Young awards. Several players are listed across outlets as nominees, such as Pete Crow-Armstrong, Yordan Alvarez, Jacob Misiorowski and others, while the wider group of finalists spans multiple annual categories.
The coverage consistently notes that these BBWAA awards are based on regular-season performance, with playoff results not affecting the voting process. Multiple articles also highlight that the awards include categories beyond MVP and Cy Young, and that Relief Pitcher of the Year is set to be awarded for the first time this season. Outlets differ mainly in how they frame the announcement—some lead with specific standout finalists, while others present a broader rundown of who remains in contention and when winners will be revealed.
