League MVP along with Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager
and Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy.

memorable.

along with Washington’s Max Scherzer.
Cubs manager Joe Maddon is up for NL Manager of the Year against
Washington’s Dusty Baker and Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
In the American League, Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels), Jose
Altuve (Houston Astros) and Mookie Betts (Boston Red Sox) are up
for MVP.
Boston’s Rick Porcello, Cleveland’s Corey Kluber and Detroit’s
Justin Verlander are finalist for AL CY Young.
