No Yankees among major awards finalists

Finalists for the four major awards were announced tonight, and, unsurprisingly, no Yankees made the cut. Joe Girardi was the team’s best hope for a finalist, but a Yankees manager doesn’t get many votes if the team misses the postseason. It’s just the way it is. Girardi and several players will get down ballot votes (Robinson Cano for MVP, specifically) for the various awards, which will be announced next week. All of the finalists are right here.
