Murphy finishes second in NL MVP vote to Bryant

Murphy finishes second in NL MVP vote to Bryant
Daniel Murphy had an MVP-caliber season and might well have taken home the hardware had he put up the same stat line in a previous year. This year, though, Murphy was forced to take a back seat to Kris Bryant, who as the best player on the best team in baseball easily captured the National League MVP. Bryant, the brightest young star on a Cubs roster filled with them, won his first career MVP this evening, garnering 29-of-30 first-place votes and 415 total points from members of the Baseball...

Multiple Nationals are staking claims for major NL awards

Multiple Nationals are staking claims for major NL awards
As the Nationals take aim at winning the National League East, they've got a chance at a repeat winner for NL MVP. And it is possible they could be the 19th team in baseball history to have teammates win the Cy Young and MVP awards in the same season. Could it be Daniel Murphy following Bryce Harper as the NL MVP, with either pitcher Stephen Strasburg or Max Scherzer winning the Cy Young? How about Wilson Ramos combining with either Strasburg or Scherzer? Any of those combinations are...

Harper credits Desmond, Werth after winning MVP (plus Sizemore note)
Bryce Harper was clearly humbled by winning his first National League Most Valuable Player award last night. Watching the broadcast on MLB Network, Harper was emotional while speaking with his family surrounding him. He talked of how much hard work he put in, not just over his first four years in the majors, but since childhood with his mom and dad. Harper was also quick to credit his Nationals teammates, specifically Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond, for helping him develop on and off the field....

Notes on O'Day, AL MVP and more

Notes on O'Day, AL MVP and more
The Tigers no longer appear to be in the running for free agent reliever Darren O'Day after acquiring closer Francisco Rodriguez yesterday from the Brewers. The more pressing question over here is whether the Orioles remain in the hunt. I received confirmation on the FOXSports.com report that O'Day is seeking a four-year deal in the $28-$36 million range. The Tigers don't seem inclined to pay closer money for a set-up man. The Orioles wouldn't do it last winter with left-hander Andrew...

As expected, Bryce Harper named a finalist for NL MVP

As expected, Bryce Harper named a finalist for NL MVP
In no shock, the Baseball Writers' Association of America named Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper as a finalist for the National League Most Valuable Player award. Harper is the favorite to take home his first MVP when it's announced on Nov. 19, but the young slugger faces stiff competition with Reds first baseman Joey Votto and Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in contention. After battling injuries the past two seasons, Harper experienced a breakout campaign in 2015. He...
