We’ve seen the revival of several players whose careers we thought were over. Here are your early candidates for MLB Comeback Player of the Year.

*Spoiler alert* for some of the upcoming slides, I wanted to write about two different players who have not only revived their careers but are playing their best ball right now; MLB Comeback Player of the Year candidates: Pablo Sandoval and Josh Bell.

Though it would be just as simple to write about the two in their own separate articles about how they are playing so well and helping their teams (maybe not so much the Giants), it seemed repetitive and unfair to focus on only these two.

Think back to my For your WAY too early consideration series, but now we have played nearly a quarter of the season. So it is more of just an early consideration.

Regardless, I’m once again going to look at a few candidates – not necessarily three and an honorable mention – who have caused a conversation in the sense of a revival of their careers which have either not yet peaked, or are returning to a level of once greatness.

You already know two of my picks, so let’s just get those out of the way first shall we? The rest will still remain a surprise.
