2024 MLB awards finalists: Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes up for MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year

Major League Baseball’s 2024 awards season is underway and, Monday night, MLB and the Baseball Writers Association of America revealed the top three finalists for each of the four major awards. Those are Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young, and Most Valuable Player. The winners will be announced next week.

Here is the 2024 awards announcement schedule (winners will be revealed during a live MLB Network broadcast each day):

• Nov. 18: Rookies of the Year
• Nov. 19: Managers of the Year
• Nov. 20: Cy Youngs
• Nov. 21: MVPs

These are regular-season awards only. BBWAA members cast their votes after the regular season and before the postseason, so nothing that happened in October is reflected in the awards. There are 30 voters per award (two per MLB city in that league).

Monday’s announcement revealed the top three finalists for each award, though it’s really more like the top three vote-getters. There is no second phase of the voting for just the three finalists. The three finalists finished 1-2-3 in the voting in whatever order. Here now are MLB’s 2024 awards finalists (listed alphabetically).
