What is the story about?

Happy Wednesday, everyone. MLB Awards season is in full swing. Kevin McGonigle netted the Rookie of the Year Award for the AL, to no one’s surprise, though there is the question of the two voters who gave him a second-place selection…. side-eyeing them.

We’ve also got some hot stove rumors to get into, specifically about Tarik Skubal and which teams are showing the most interest in the ace.

So let’s
