bbwaa announces 2025 awards finalists mlb trade rumors

By Darragh McDonald | November 3, 2025 at 6:37pm CDT The Baseball Writers Association of America announced the finalists for the 2025 awards tonight. Those are top three vote getters (listed in alphabetical order) for the four biggest awards: MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year. Winners will be revealed next week, as will each voter’s individual ballot. The American League MVP race has been hotly debated for months and the arguments will probably continue for years after the award is given out. Judge has already won the award twice and he put up another monster season, hitting 53 home runs with a .331 batting average and .457 on-base percentage.

Raleigh hit 60 home runs but his offense was otherwise a notch below Judge. Strictly based on the work done at the plate, Judge gets the edge. However, Raleigh’s performance is completely unprecedented for a catcher. It’s possible some voters give Raleigh the edge due to the extra work catchers have to do working with a pitching staff, on top of the wear-and-tear associated with the position. Ohtani seems likely to repeat in the National League, given that he continued to hit at an elite rate and also returned to the mound this year. Skubal is expected to repeat as A.L.

Cy Young winner, even though Crochet gave him a good run for his money this year. Skenes is generally considered the favorite in the N.L. Kurtz probably earned himself the hardware by launching 36 home runs. The N.L. Rookie of the Year race feels fairly wide open. With awards voting, the Prospect Promotion Incentive has become a consideration in recent years.

Brown has already earned the Astros an extra pick just by being a Cy Young finalist. Baldwin can also net Atlanta an extra pick, but only if he ultimately wins Rookie of the Year in the National League.

With awards voting, the Prospect Promotion Incentive has become a consideration in recent years. Brown has already earned the Astros an extra pick just by being a Cy Young finalist. Baldwin can also net Atlanta an extra pick, but only if he ultimately wins Rookie of the Year in the National League. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America has unveiled its finalists for the 2025 major awards, setting up what promises to be one of the most compelling awards weeks in recent memory. Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge headline their respective MVP races, while rookie sensation Paul Skenes leads a loaded National League Cy Young field. The announcements, revealed Monday night on MLB Network, showcase the top three vote-getters in each category.

Winners will be announced throughout the week of November 10, starting with the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards. In the National League, Ohtani appears poised to capture his fourth MVP award, which would tie him with Barry Bonds as the only four-time winners in baseball history. The Dodgers superstar returned to two-way excellence this season, hitting .282 with 55 home runs and 102 RBIs while posting a 2.87 ERA across 14 pitching starts. Joining Ohtani as finalists are Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber, who led the majors with 132 RBIs and 56 home runs, and the Mets’ Juan Soto, who surprisingly led the NL with 38 stolen bases while... The American League race promises more drama, with Judge seeking his third MVP award after another monster season. The Yankees captain hit .331 with 53 home runs and led MLB in multiple offensive categories.

His main challenger is Seattle’s Cal Raleigh, who made history by becoming the first catcher to reach 60 home runs in a season. The Baseball Writers Association of America has announced the full list of finalists for the 2025 awards. This year's race is highlighted by the American League MVP race between Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh, with José Ramírez.css-1582m2i{margin:0;font:inherit;font-weight:700;} vying for third place after being included among the finalists. Here is the full list of candidates after Monday's announcement. A lot of these categories have a clear favorite. For example, as good as Garrett Crochet was in his first season with the Boston Red Sox, Tarik Skubal only cemented his status as the best pitcher in the AL by being even better...

If Skubal does win his second consecutive AL Cy Young award, he will be the first pitcher to repeat in the Junior Circuit since Pedro Martínez in 1999 and 2000.
