Robbie Ray Wins AL Cy Young
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports Robbie Ray was named the winner of the 2021 American League Cy Young this afternoon. Unlike Ray’s pants, the vote wasn’t particularly tight, with the Blue Jays ace receiving 29 of 30 first place votes.

Berrios came to us at the trade deadline for Austin Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson. It seemed like a high price for a guy who would be a free agent after the 2022 season. Well, now he won’t be a free agent....

Marcus Semien Wins AL Gold Glove
And he is a ha | Matt Blewett-USA TODAY Sports Marcus Semien was announced as the winner of the AL Gold Glove at second base tonight. It is well deserved.

He was great fun to watch. The last Blue Jays player to win a Glove Gold was Vernon Wells who won three in a row from 2004 to 2006. Lourdes Gurriel and Jose Berrios weren’t winners, Andrew Benintendi (Royals) won in left and Dallas Keuchel...
