Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA), has announced the finalists for the 2025 major awards: Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of... As a reminder, the voting was completed before the playoffs even started. In fact, ballots were due before the first pitch of the playoffs. That means these are regular-season awards. Further, there's no voting after finalists are announced or anything like that. The word, "finalists," is kind of misleading actually.

The ballots have already been tabulated and the league office is simply revealing the top three vote-getters for each award to create a buzz before the winners are announced. The announcement schedule is as follows. Monday, Nov. 10: Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards Tuesday, Nov. 11: Manager of the Year Awards Are Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge set to repeat as MLB MVPs?

Who between Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sánchez, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will win the NL Cy Young? The league announced the finalists for its major end-of-season awards from the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Monday. The full list: Ohtani has won three MVPs already and two straight. He hit .282 with 55 home runs and 102 RBIs. He also stole 20 bases and boasts a National League-best 146 runs scored, posting a 1.014 OPS. Schwarber slugged a career-high 56 homers, led the majors with 132 RBIs and had a .240/.365/.563 slash line.

Soto batted .263 with 43 home runs, 38 steals, a .921 OPS and 6.2 WAR in his first season with the Mets. Judge, who has won twice before, led MLB with a .331 average, 53 home runs, 114 RBIs, 137 runs scored and a 9.7 WAR, all while posting a .457 OBP and .688 slugging. Despite the Toronto Blue Jays' best efforts, the Los Angeles Dodgers are champions of baseball again. Could they add another major award before the offseason gets in full swing? Shohei Ohtani is aiming for his fourth MVP award, which would make him only the second player to reach the mark and the first to win multiple MVPs in both leagues. On the AL side, the MVP race between Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh came down to the bitter end.

Was Raleigh’s 60-home-run campaign enough to push him ahead, or will the New York Yankees’ two-time MVP become a three-time MVP? Whether or not Judge goes back-to-back, this award season is likely to have plenty of similarities to 2024. Many of the awards have been announced, with the AL and NL MVPs to be named Thursday night at 7 p.m., on MLB Network. That's officially a wrap on the 2025 MLB season.

Raleigh brings catcher value with 60 homers and a near .950 OPS, the unicorn power season behind the plate.

Ramírez delivers all-fields chaos with 30/44 and elite baserunning/defense, the WAR darling who does everything well. Edge: Judge, but Raleigh’s historic C power is real juice.
