Neither Soriano nor Dunn is expected to receive anywhere close to the 75 percent support necessary for enshrinement in Cooperstown, and there's a chance neither receives even...

Martinez finishes fifth in NL Manager of the Year voting
At this point, two weeks into November, nobody would dare suggest Davey Martinez didn't play a major role in leading the Nationals to their first World Series title and didn't deserve to be honored for it.

Which explains why the Nats skipper finished a distant fifth in voting that was revealed...

Robles finished sixth in the race for 2019 National League Rookie of the Year, an award that went to Mets first baseman Pete Alonso in overwhelming fashion. Alonso, who set a new major league record for home runs by...
