Aroldis Chapman in a landslide.
Chas McCormick #Astros
Chapman.
Probably a Blue Jay
There is a blue jay at my bird feeder.
I know closers get all the hype, but Uribe should get some love in the NL. six more Holds than the next closest guy, and he almost always faces the opposing team's best hitters
Starting in 2026, the BBWAA will award a Relief Pitcher of the Year Award in each league, alongside the group’s other awards — MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year. Full story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/657...
Didn't Rolaids used to sponsor such an award?
There's been a Reliever of the Year since 1976, except 2013. After Rolaids (which was an algorithmic point system), they went to a panel of retired relievers for the Rivera/Hoffman awards since 2014. Next year, it'll be another media award.
Yep! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolaids...
My bet would be on Emanuel Clase.
Why care?
