The month of November is awards season for Major League Baseball. On Tuesday night, MLB kicked things off as the league revealed the winners for the 2020 Gold Glove Awards.

Unlike in a normal season, this year’s Rawlings Baseball Gold Gloves aren’t being determined by manager and coach voting; rather, they’re being determined by numbers and numbers alone because the regional schedule prevented those voters from getting a proper look at every candidate in their respective leagues.

THERE WERE 11 first-time Gold Glove winners WHILE On the other end, Nolan Arenado and Alex Gordon each claimed THEIR eighth career Gold Gloves. THE ROYALS ALEX Gordon, who’s already announced his retirement, takes home a Gold Glove in his final big league season. Mookie Betts, meantime, won his fifth Gold Glove and first as a National Leaguer..THE OTHERS CAME AS A MEMBER OF THE RED SOX…… At the team level, the Indians, Rangers, Cubs, and Cardinals each had two winners apiece for 2020.

CARDINALS FREE AGENT SECOND BASEMAN KOLTEN WONG EARNED HIS SECOND GOLD GLOVE, WHILE REDBIRD OUTFIELDER TYLER O’NEILL PICKED UP HIS FIRST…RETIRING ROYALS LEFTFIELDER ALEX GORDON WAS AWARDED THE EIGHTH GOLD GLOVE…18 GOLD GLOVES OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS FOR THE ROYALS, LEADS THE MAJORS…
