The 2020 MLB awards finalists were announced on Monday. Call to the Pen predicts the winners.

It’s official. The 2020 MLB awards season is upon us. The league announced finalists for the major end-of-year awards on Monday, given out by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Manager of the Year, and Rookie of the Year were included in this announcement.

On Tuesday, the league announced the official winners of the 2020 Gold Glove awards.

As a reminder, the voting for these awards only considers regular-season performances; the postseason is excluded.

We all know the 2020 regular season was unlike no other. Players and managers had only 60 games to impress the voters. The result? Much closer races than normal. In previous 162-game campaigns, many candidates fell out of contention throughout the marathon campaign.

Starting next Monday, November 9th, the league will officially announce the winners of its major awards. With that in mind, let’s check out some predictions for the 2020 winners.
