Yankees' Cam Schlittler on what it means to receive MLB Players Choice Award
New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler sits down with "CBS Mornings" to talk about his career so far, and what it means to win a 2026 MLB Players Choice Award.
Houston Astros player Yordan Alvarez secured two prestigious Players Choice Awards ahead of the American League MVP vote. The Major League Baseball Players Association announced the awards on Wednesday, following a September player voting period. Alvarez emerged victorious in the American League Outstanding Player and Comeback Player of the Year categories.
Junior Caminero and Bobby Witt Jr. faced off against Alvarez for the Outstanding Player honor, while Gerrit Cole and Mike Trout competed for the Comeback Player award. Alvarez also narrowly missed out on the Player of the Year award, which was awarded to Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. Alvarez's impressive performance this season included leading the majors in OPS and batting average, capturing the American League batting title, and finishing second or tied for second in several other statistical categories.
His accolades mark a strong start to what could be a thrilling awards season for the Houston Astros star.
