NY Post
The Yankees and Mets are well represented among finalists for year-end awards.
Among eight categories for the big four Baseball Writers’ Association of America Awards — MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year in each league — four Yankees and two Mets are in the top three finishers, as revealed Monday night.
The finalists — among the top three vote-getters — for the Yankees are:
• Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, who will face off with the Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. for American League MVP.
Judge is the heavy favorite for what would be his second MVP in three seasons.
The captain led the major leagues in plenty, including his 58 home runs, 144 RBIs and a 1.159 OPS, in another impressive year that did not end with a championship but likely will end with hardware.
