 The award is based on a vote of 30 beat reporters, one from each
major-league team.
McGehee, fifth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting
while with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2009, played for the Tohoku
Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan in 2013. He returned to major leagues
in 2014 with the Marlins and hit .287 with four homers, 29 doubles
with 76 RBIs.
Young was named to the All-Star team in 2007 while with the San
Diego Padres. But he did not pitch in the major leagues at all in
2013 after being plagued by a series of injuries.
He was 12-9 record and a 3.65 earned-run average for Seattle this
season.
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who rejected a $15.3 million
qualifying offer from the San Francisco Giants, is seeking at least
a six-year deal.
Sandoval's agent, Gustavo Vasquez, told the San Francisco Chronicle
he has spoken to a "few teams" since free agency began Tuesday,
including the Giants.
According to ESPN.com, general manager Brian Sabean has told free
agent starting pitchers Jake Peavy and Ryan Vogelsong that the World
Series champions need time to try to re-sign Sandoval before turning
their attention to any other position.
St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Peter Bourjos had surgery to
repair a hip impingement, MLB.com reported. He is expected to be
ready for spring training.
Bourjos is an outstanding defensive center fielder who began the
2014 season sharing time with Jon Jay. By season's end, however, Jay
was getting nearly all the playing time in center field, with
Bourjos spending most of his time on the bench.
