The 2025 Major League Baseball season has arrived. We’ve already put together our team-wide predictions, from division winners to pennants to the World Series championship picks. It’s now time to try and nail down the player awards.
The fun part about the awards is we’re bound to get a mixed bag of chalk and shock. The MVPs last season were Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, but the Cy Young winners were Tarik Skubal and a 35-year-old Chris Sale. Who had Luis Gil taking the AL Rookie of the Year? Then again, Paul Skenes on the National League side wasn’t all too surprising.
Let’s get to it.
