At 2nd base Cesar Hernandez of the Cleveland Indians won the Gold Glove in his first season in the American League. In the National League Kolton Wong of the St. Louis Cardinals won his second straight Gold Glove. Oddly Wong’s option year of his contract wasn’t picked up by the Cardinals and he is a free agent.

In leftfield Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals also became an eight time Gold Glove award winner in what was his final season. Gordon had two steaks of winning the Gold Glove four seasons in a row. First from 2011-2014 then from 2017-2020. Over in the National League Tyler O’Neil of the St. Louis Cardinals won the Gold Glove for the first time in his career.
In centerfield Chicago White Sox rookie Luis Robert won the Gold Glove and in the National League Trent Grisham of the San Diego Padres was the Gold Glove winner.
In rightfield even though he gets more recognition for his bat it was Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers who won the Gold Glove. In the National League Mookie Betts of the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers won the Gold Glove. This is the fifth time in a row that Betts has won this award with the last four being in the American League.

I saw the results and I was underwhelmed. I’ve never paid too much attention to the gold glove awards. MVP, Cy Young etc. well that’s a different story.
The White Sox fans should be more than excited over 2021; but not the Cub fans!
