2018 MLB Award Winners

It's time for the traditional final MLBoyfriend post of the year. All the MLB Awards have been announced, so let's see how my picks matched up with theirs.



Ronald Acuña Jr.: National League Rookie of the Year



Mookie Betts; American League Most Valuable Player, Golden Glove, Silver Slugger, Defensive Player of the Year (right field), & Player Choice Award for Outstanding Player (American League)


Paul Goldschmidt: Silver Slugger


Dallas Keuchel: Golden Glove


J.D. Martinez: American League Hank Aaron Award, two Silver Sluggers, & Players Choice Award for Player of the Year
UPDATE 3/26/19: I wrote this before J.D. Martinez posted something very problematic on social media that is in direct opposition to my values. He has a right to express political opinions, but words have consequences. In this case the consequence is that I no longer think he's hot--in fact, he's the opposite of hot. NRA propaganda is deal breaker for me.



Shohei Ohtani: American League Rookie of the Year


Anthony Rizzo: Golden Glove


Trevor Story: Silver Slugger


Mike Trout: Silver Slugger


Christian Yelich: National League Most Valuable Player, Silver Slugger, & Players Choice Award for Outstanding Player (National League)


Congratulations to all my MLBoyfriends who won MLB Awards!
