Gold Glove winners for the nine standard positions are determined through voting by MLB managers and up to six coaches from each team. Managers and coaches cannot vote for their own players and are only permitted to submit ballots for those in their same league. Those votes amount to 75% of the selection total, with the SABR Defensive Index accounting for the remaining 25%.

It took four games, but Collin Murray-Boyles is finally on the board after scoring his first career bucket in the first quarter against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. The ninth overall pick would not be done there, however, as in only six minutes, Murray-Boyles got up to 10 points to lead all Raptors scorers. His second career bucket also came as the roll-man, then he nailed an open triple from the left wing, grabbed an open dunk, then sank a free throw after drawing a foul.

3 months agoNationals' Luis Garcia Jr. Taking Pregame First Base Reps
García hasn't played anywhere other than second base since the end of 2022. He got a few months of shortstop run that year but clearly wasn't cut out for that position. He's not a particularly good second baseman either. Defensive Runs Saved has graded him negatively in three straight years. Statcast's Outs Above Average gave him above-average marks in 2024 but has had him as a subpar defender in every other season of his career.
