Poll: Checking In On The NL Rookie Of The Year Race

Earlier this month, I wrote about the candidates for the NL MVP and AL Cy Young awards. I picked those races because they’re especially close right now. In contrast, there is a clear front-runner for both the AL MVP (Yordan Alvarez) and NL Cy Young (Jacob Misiorowski). So, I hope you’ll forgive me if I […]
