Dallas Keuchel and Jake Arrieta are your Cy Young winners.

@jeffpassan Sources: Braves and Astros talked mega-deal for Freddie Freeman.
Jeff Passan @jeffpassan The Freeman-to-Astros talks died quickly, and since then Braves have vowed not to deal Freeman. Speaks to how public pressure affected them.
Jeff Passan @jeffpassan The Braves are stuck between a rock and hard place. They need to go full-on rebuild. Wanting to go strong into a new stadium makes it tough.

Has anyone had an ERA as low as Greinke and still lost the Cy Young award before?

Gonna disagree with David Price not being the Cy Young winner, but I'm not going to be too mad about it being given to Dallas Kuechel.

Greinke didn't even get 1st from both LA writers.

I would have given it to Kershaw, but Arrieta is fine. Keuchel is the right choice for the AL, though.

I'm curious to see if Josh Donaldson over Mike Trout for American League MVP will bring out the same childish, immature "the baseball writers are luddites!" talking point we heard from the likes of Keith Law and the pro-Trout crowd back in 2012 and 2013. Because from my perspective, while close, I think Donaldson deserves Most Valuable Player over Trout.

Mike Trout did deserve those MVP awards over Miggy, it is what it is (and I say that as a Tigers fan). This one is much more murky.

Yeah, there was no case to be made against Trout those years, but there would be nothing wrong at all with Donaldson winning this year over him.

Bryce Harper is the unanimous winner of the NL MVP. Paul Goldschmidt finished second, with Joey Votto coming third.

The triple crown being valued so much is still weird to me.
Great years for Harper and Donaldson, congrats.

Harper and Donaldson were my choices and they aligned with the overwhelming majority of voters. Neato. Though you could've made a really good argument for Trout, too.
