2020 MLB Awards Predictions

Here are my award predictions for the 2020 MLB Season.

American League
MVP: Matt Chapman, Oakland Athletics: Chapman is widely known for his outstanding defense at third base, but he has become a prolific offensive player as well. I think he's in for a big season on a team that I view as a contender in the A's.
Runner up: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians

Cy Young: Shane Bieber, Cleveland Indians: Instead of going chalk with Gerrit Cole, I went with someone who had a breakout 2019 in Bieber. The short season will benefit the Indians and that staff and Bieber is certainly capable of leading the American League in ERA this season.
Runner up: Gerrit Cole, New York Yankees

Rookie of the Year: Luis Robert, Chicago White Sox: Robert is someone that I believe that can become a flat out stud this season. He has shown so much of what he can do both with the bat and glove. Also, I believe the White Sox are a playoff team now and for years to come.
Runner up: Jesus Luzardo, Oakland Athletics

Manager of the Year: Rick Renteria, Chicago White Sox: Renteria is someone who is under some pressure this season for his team to succeed. I believe they will have success and he will rightfully get credit for it.
Runner up: Kevin Cash, Tampa Bay Rays

National League
MVP: Juan Soto, Washington Nationals: Despite news breaking that Soto will miss time with Covid-19, I believe Soto could come back soon and pick off where he left off last season. He is a flat out stud and he will carry the Nationals to the postseason.
Runner up: Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers

Cy Young: Mike Soroka, Atlanta Braves: Soroka was outstanding as a rookie a year and would have won Rookie of the Year had not been for Pete Alonso's historic rookie season. I believe he steps up his game more and comes away with this prestigious award.
Runner up: Luis Castillo, Cincinnati Reds

Rookie of the Year: Gavin Lux, Los Angeles Dodgers: Despite not starting the season with the big league club, I believe he will come up and show what he is capable of. He will certainly be better than what he showed last fall.
Runner up: Carter Kieboom, Washington Nationals

Manager of the Year: David Bell, Cincinnati Reds: With all the improvements the team made in the second half of last season and in the offseason, there's pressure on Bell to deliver. I believe he will get the job done and will get this award.
Runner up: Luis Rojas, New York Mets
