With the 2024 MLB season now in the rearview mirror, the last thing left in baseball is to name the winners of the year-end awards. This week, the finalists for MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year were announced and it’s time for us to take a look at who we think will take home some hardware.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman examine all the nominees, whether Aaron Judge will join Shohei Ohtani in being named unanimous MVP, why Zack Wheeler deserves to be the NL Cy Young over Chris Sale and who could steal some first-place votes from him to Paul Skenes in the National League Rookie of the Year Voting.

Also in this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Castthe guys discuss the rise of Juan Soto’s draft, with him scheduled to meet with potential suitors this week, before diving into the listener mailbag where they answer whether the San Francisco Giants or San Diego Padres are the biggest rival of the Los Angeles Dodgers, if Roki Sasaki can immediately sign an extension with any team he chooses and then choose fan-created prizes.
