Tomás Nido has been named a finalist for the Gold Glove at catcher, alongside Travis d'Arnaud and J.T. Realmuto.

In the newly created "Utility" category you will not find Luis Guillorme or Jeff McNeil but you will find Tommy Edman who is nominated at 2B and Daulton Varsho who is nominated at RF. To me, if you've played enough at a position to be worthy of a nomination at that position then you should not be nominated for the award created for players who move around the field.

I like that the nominees for the utility player included a classic 2b/3b/ss utility infielder (Tommy Erdman), an infielder/outfielder (Brendan Donovan), and a catcher/outfielder (Daulton Varsho).



Sorry not to see the Mets classic 2b/3b/ss utility infielder (Luis Guillorme), or infielder/outfielder (Jeff McNeil) there.



I agree that nominating a guy as both a specialist and a generalist would seem to be beyond the spirit of the category.

Yeah that's dumb. But I feel like the GGs are the awards most often botched over the years in terms of awards given out.

Silver Slugger nominees? We got 'em by the bushel.

At a quick glance, it looks like McNeil may have the best chance at winning.

In case you're wondering, there IS a Marvin Miller Award, and Lindor has been nominated.

The Marvin Miller award was created in 1997 as a players' choice award and recognizes the outstanding on and off-field performances of players.

Mets shut out of the GG but former Met Andres Gimenez won at 2B for the Guardians. Not surprising, the kid could always stick it out in the field.
