"Mookie Betts at shortstop and Miguel Rojas at utility were Gold Glove Award finalists, but lost out to of the Cardinals and Javier Sanoja of the Marlins. Winn was a fine choice at short, but not sure why Sanoja would get the nod over Rojas, as Rojas was better statistically and played more innings total as well as at the hardest position of shortstop. That said, you could argue under the same criteria that Tommy Edman deserved it over any of them."
"As far as non-finalists go, was robbed of at least a nomination. Despite his mental lapses at times, robbing a ton of homers is inarguably valuable even if getting a lot of chances is ultimately luck. Like ... it literally just leads to winning games, which is why he graded out as one of the best in baseball. Additionally, and this one is an eye test thing, but Yoshinobu Yamamoto should've received a nomination at pitcher. Always in position, fundamentally near perfect, and extremely athletic."
"Handing out a Silver Slugger Award to various positions was next up, and the Dodgers had nominations in Freddie Freeman at first, at third, at catcher, Shohei Ohtani at DH, and the Dodgers as a Team. In the end, only Shohei and the Team took home awards, as Freddie lost to Pete Alonso, Muncy lost to Manny Machado, and Dills lost to Hunter Goodman."
Shohei Ohtani won the NL MVP and also earned a Silver Slugger at DH. Mookie Betts at shortstop and Miguel Rojas at utility were Gold Glove finalists but lost to a Cardinals player and Javier Sanoja of the Marlins. Winn was viewed as a fine shortstop choice while Rojas had better statistics and more innings at shortstop; Tommy Edman was suggested as another deserving candidate. An unnamed Dodger was described as robbed of a Gold Glove nomination despite valuable home run robbing. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was noted as deserving a pitcher nomination for his fundamentals and athleticism. Freddie Freeman, Muncy, and Dills lost Silver Slugger awards to Pete Alonso, Manny Machado, and Hunter Goodman, respectively.
