2018 MLB awards: Breaking down the ballots
By David Hill
Now that the regular season is over, let us take a look at the upcoming 2018 MLB awards and the players that could take home some hardware.
After 163 games, the regular season is finally in the books. We know how everyone has performed throughout the season, seen those miraculous plays, and watched as different players put their team on their backs. In the end, only ten teams would remain standing, battling to take home a championship.
However, not every player is fortunate enough to play in the postseason. Instead, they are left hoping that their performances were strong enough to warrant consideration for the 2018 MLB awards. With some players, that may very well be the case.
And now that the regular season is officially over, and the statistics are final, let us take a look at who should bring home the hardware. This is a place for those players to shine, where the disappointment of the season can give way to an appreciation of their individual accomplishments. It is a time where even a losing team can feel like a winner, as their stars are potentially recognized. Or, it can be a time where the best teams in the game just further state their cases, where they not only run roughshod through the playoffs, but take home a great deal of hardware as well.
Who will win the various 2018 MLB awards this offseason? Here are our thoughts as they relate to the upcoming award season.
