While he’s won awards of a similar nature this offseason, Sale now has the biggest comeback award to his name

And while that along would have warranted Comeback Player of the Year, his return was historic.
For good measure, he also led the league in FIP , ERA+ , strikeouts per nine innings and home runs per nine innings .This award is just one of a number he has already won this offseason - including awards of this exact nature.and Comeback Player of the Year at the Players Choice Awards .He was was also named the NL Comeback Player of the YearBy this point, everyone agrees he is worthy of the comeback player honor for 2024. The players and the writers all agree now.
All that is left for him now is the grandest award for pitchers: The Cy Young Award. While he’s been a finalist before and received votes many times, he’s yet to win one.
