This bright Monday morning brings us the first full week of the offseason. We’ll get the results of awards voting this week, and we may even see some hot stove activity, and teams like the Giants have already begun to make minor moves to smooth out the edges of their 40-man rosters. But will these seemingly normal early offseason happenings just belie the true nature of the storm to come? A trivial distraction before the sport enters a state of uncertainty and upheaval? We’ll have to wait and see.
On the site this morning, Peter runs our GM approval poll for November, which should be an interesting exercise this being the first poll since the Yankees bowed out of the postseason in the ALDS. Peter will also grade Jake Bird’s 2026 with the Yankees (you might be able to guess the letter grade!). And later, John writes up Jonathan Loáisigaon the occasion of his 32nd birthday, Madison puts out the call for an offseason mailbag, and Jeremy looks as the finalists for the BBWAA awards.
Questions/Prompts:
1. Of the Yankees impending free agents, who is most likely to return? Who do you most want to see return?
2. Did you expect Cody Beligner to come home with a Gold Glove award yesterday? Did any of the results surprise you?

Earlier this week, ESPN published their way-too-early MLB power rankings for next season, and you might be suprised where they have your Pittsburgh Pirates ranked. The Bucs are coming in at number nine! Here’s what ESPN has to say about your Battlin’ Buccos:
9.
2026 record: 82-80 Final 2026 ranking: 13
Key free agents: Brandon Lowe, Gregory Soto
Potential 2027 impact rookies: RHP Seth Hernandez
One of the most shocking results of 2026 was the Pirates finishing sixth in the majors in runs scored after ranking last in 2025. That helped lead to an 11-win improvement, and while you might normally pencil in regression, that won’t necessarily be the case. Konnor Griffin has the tools to explode in his sophomore season while Esmerlyn Valdez slugged .510 with 17 home runs in half a season. Bringing Lowe back after he hit 35 home runs is a big key, and he should be in the Pirates’ range to re-sign.
Then there’s this: There is every reason to believe the rotation will be better, from Paul Skenes to Bubba Chandler to Jared Jones to Hernandez debuting at some point. The defense wasn’t good and the bullpen needs help, but the Pirates have every reason to believe they can reach the postseason for the first time since 2015.
As you can see, there is a legitimate path to contention for the Pirates. Get the expected performance from the rotation, re-sign Brandon Lowe, get improvements from the young bats. If each of those three things happen, we could finally have a long-awaited return to the postseason for the Buccos. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. There’s still work to be done this offseason. But for the first time in a long time, there is optimism not just in the Pirates fan base, but across the MLB at large.
Nolan McLean’s pitching carried his strong rookie season, but his defense also shined.
On that count, the right-hander was recognized Sunday with a Gold Glove Award, along with the Yankees’ Cody Bellinger. McLean became the first rookie pitcher in major league history to win the award.
McLean’s Gold Glove ended a Mets drought that extended to 2014, when Juan Lagares won in center field. Ron Darling (1989) had been the last Mets pitcher to win it.

McLean was one of 12 major league pitchers this season with four or more defensive runs saved. He ranked second in chances (43) and second in assists (24). McLean’s fielding run value of eight was tied for seventh, according to Baseball Savant.
Carson Benge and Luis Torrens were also Gold Glove finalists for the Mets. But the Diamondbacks tandem of Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno won in right field and at catcher, respectively.
Seven years after winning his first Gold Glove Award, Bellinger has another.

The Yankees outfielder was named the American League’s left field recipient of the award Sunday. Bellinger won a Gold Glove with the Dodgers in 2019 as a right fielder.
Bellinger was tied for third in MLB with 21 defensive runs saved this season. He also had eight assists, a byproduct of an arm that ranked in MLB’s 94th percentile by averaging 93.3 mph per throw.
Austin Wells and José Caballero were also Gold Glove finalists for the Yankees at catcher and utility, respectively. Dillon Dingler (Tigers) and Ezequiel Duran (Rangers) won at those positions.
New York Post | Dan Martin: With the 2026 season now officially in the books, free agency is officially set to open later today. While this year’s free agent class isn’t necessarily full of superstars, there are some potentially helpful names. Considering the way the Yankees have gone out in the postseason the last two years, they could certainly use some of that help.
SNY | Ben Pawlak: One person on that list will be third baseman Teruaki Sato of Japan. Reports are that Sato has now officially been posted by the Hanshin Tigers of NPB, adding him to this year’s free agent class. Sato was MVP of Japan’s Central League in 2025 and followed that up with a Triple Crown-winning season in 2026, hitting .306 with 39 home runs and 106 RBI.
MiLB.com | Tim Crowley: Madison had the report last night for Pinstripe Alley on Cody Bellinger winning a Gold Glove Award for his excellent work in left field, but he wasn’t the only Yankee to earn an honor! Although Austin Wells and José Caballero came up short, Somerset’s Cade Smith—not to be confused with the Guardians’ closer—won a Minor League Gold Glove, which is no small feat since the Double-A righty was competing against literally every other minor-league pitcher.
The Athletic | Johnny Flores Jr.: While first base is often a position regarded as somewhere you can stick just about any defender, the numbers don’t necessarily bear that out. This article digs into some of the ways that good first baseman are standing out, giving Paul Goldschmidt some love along the way.
New York Post | Thomas Gamba-Ellis: Congratulations go out to Yankees’ outfielder Spencer Jones, who got engaged to girlfriend Ava O’Connor atop the Empire State Building over the weekend. An amusing way to pass the time is to scroll through the Instagram comments of his announcement for teammates and Yankees media figures offering their own salutations! (Shout-out to Max Schuemann for “That’s my chill bird.”)

PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JUNE 14: Geraldo Perdomo #2 of the Arizona Diamondbacks is congratulated by Pavin Smith #26, Gabriel Moreno #14 and Corbin Carroll #7 after scoring the game-winning run against the San Diego Padres during the ninth inning of the MLB game at Chase Field on June 14, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Of the four Diamondbacks nominated for Gold Gloves in the National League, three of them were winners. Gabriel Moreno won at catcher, Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop, and Corbin Carroll in right field. The only Arizona nominee not to win, was Ildemaro Vargas who was one of the final three in the utility category. That went to Mauricio Dubón of Braves (he was a sort of incumbent, having won the American League award there last year, as an Astro).
Perdomo and Carroll won their first Gold Gloves, while it was Moreno’s second honor, having previously taken it home in 2023. The three awards ties a franchise record. The Diamondbacks also won three in 2019, courtesy of Nick Ahmed (SS), Zack Greinke (P) and David Peralta (OF).
Corbin Carroll, right field
Despite experiencing a relatively down year offensively at the plate, hitting .239 with 22 hkme-runs, Carroll leaned heavily into his elite speed and defensive instincts to anchor the right side of the outfield at Chase Field. Carroll led all MLB right fielders with +10 Outs Above Average (OAA), Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) largely agrees, scoring him +12 there, ranking him second in the NL. His win is particularly impressive, considering his reputation for a relatively weak arm. But the highlight reel below shows, that isn’t necessarily the case. He’s the first Arizona outfielder to win a Gold Glove since Peralta in 2019.
Perhaps surpridingly, Moreno became just the second catcher in MLB history to win a batting title and a Gold Glove in the same season. He joins Minnesota Twins legend and Hall of Famer Joe Mauer, who achieved the feat in 2008 and 2009. Gaby led all National League catchers with a career-best +14 DRS, and his Defensive WAR was an MLB-best 2.0. So this isn’t one of those cases where the voters were bedazzled by offensive production: Moreno fully deserved the award. Probably jacks up the cost for the Diamondbacks of any negotiations towards a contract extension.
I could have sworn Perdomo had won a Gold Glove before, but that wasn’t the case. Indeed, this was the first time he was named a top-three finalist at his position. He became the first Arizona shortstop to win the hardware since Nick Ahmed won back-to-back awards in 2018 and 2019. He posted +16 OAA, which ranked second in the National League and fourth among all MLB shortstops. His +8 DRS also put Perdomo second among National League shortstops. He committed just 8 errors in 2026, compared to a career-worst 18 in 2025, in a similar number of innings at the position.

He’s done it. On Sunday evening, Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler was named the recipient of Rawlings AL Gold Glove Award as the best defensive catcher in the league for the second straight season. He joins Pudge Rodriguez, Lance Parrish, and Bill Freehan as the only Tigers catchers to ever win back-to-back Gold Glove awards at catcher.
Dingler finished the year with +17 in Fielding Run Value, +15 Defensive Runs Saved, and a +9 in Framing Runs. He had +11 Blocks Above Average, and caught +5 runners trying to steal. He also held a 136 wRC+ through July 31 and was a clear contender for AL MVP until his offensive production collapsed over the final two months of the season. He still finished with 27 home runs, a 107 wRC+ and was worth 5 fWAR, finishing 8th most valuable among American League position players.
Iván “Pudge” Rodríguez won his Gold Glove Awards for the Tigers in 2006-2007. Lance Parrish, one of the leaders of the 1984 World Series champions won the award three straight times from 1983-1985, while Bill Freehan won five straight awards from 1965-1969, and as we’ve argued many times here at Bless You Boys, should be in the Hall of Fame.
Utilityman Zach McKinstry was a finalist for the AL Gold Glove among utility players this year. Ezequiel Duran of the Texas Rangers beat him out for that award.
In the minor league phase, Tigers Triple-A infield prospect Max Anderson won a Minor League Gold Glove award at second base. He’s the first minor league Gold Glove winner for the Tigers since Jace Jung in 2023. While we don’t have metrics on defensive in the minor leagues the way we do in the majors, Anderson’s oft-maligned defense certainly improved this year through a lot of hard work. He’s still a below average second baseman by major league standards in my opinion, but the trajectory of improvement does make a better case for Anderson getting a regular shot at the position next year, with Gleyber Torres off to free agency and probably unlikely to return after an injury plagued season.

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Ezequiel Duran has been named the American League winner of the Gold Glove Award for the utility position. It is Duran’s first time winning a Gold Glove award.
Duran entered spring training fighting for a bench role on the major league roster before being an invaluable regular presence in the team’s 2026 lineup. Duran played all over the field, with 49 starts at shortstop, 41 at third base, 25 at second base, 14 in center field, nine in left field, seven in right field, and one at third base. His versatility led to his being dubbed “the Solution.”
Duran was one of four Gold Glove finalists on the Rangers, with Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter and Jacob deGrom being the other three.
The complete list of winners in the American League and in the National League can be found here.

The Gold Glove winners for the 2026 season have been announced, but none of the St. Louis Cardinals finalists were chosen.
Second baseman JJ Wetherholt, shortstop Masyn Winn and pitcher Michael McGreevy were all finalists for the Gold Glove. Unfortunately, none of them were selected.
Here are the National League winners just announced by MLB:

The 2026 Major League Baseball season is over with the Milwaukee Brewers (and Antonio Senzatela!) emerging as league champions. The off-season has officially started, and baseball is over for the long, dark winter. It might be over for even longer with a looming and potentially acrimonious lockout on the horizon within the next month.
However, baseball is only “over” if you don’t know where to look.
While the MLB championship may be called the World Series, there is still baseball being played outside of the continental United States.
In Asia, the Japanese Baseball season may be over—with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks emerging as champions—but the Korean Baseball Organization will kick off their own championship series on Tuesday. This year’s Korean Series features the Samsung Lions against the KT Wiz. The KT Wiz are lead by a very familiar face. In his first season playing Korean baseball, former Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard is a leading candidate for league MVP after hitting .304/.374/.593 with 139 RBIs and 44 home runs.
Down south, la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) in Mexico and Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana (LIDOM) in the Dominican Republic are in full swing for their winter seasons. Games from both leagues can be watched via your MLB.tv subscription. La Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional (LVBP) in Venezuela is also underway with Puerto Rico’s Liga de Béisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente (LBPRC) set to begin in just a few days.
And some Colorado Rockies will be playing Winter Ball, too. The table below shows which teams they’ll be with.
There’s also still baseball close to home. The Arizona Fall League—also available to watch on MLB.tv—has plenty left in the tank with a few more weeks left of play. The “Fall Stars” All-Star game will be played on Sunday, November 8th and feature the best of this year’s fall crop. One would assume slugging catcher Jack O’Dowd will be among those chosen to play. The Arizona Fall League playoffs will then begin on November 12th.
So, Purple Row readers, what winter baseball will you be watching? Let us know in the comments!
