Team’s turnaround was bigger, borderline historic in Mike Shildt’s first season
No, not in my mind. It was based on facts and feel, just as in 2020 when I voted for Don Mattingly of the Marlins over the Padres’ Jayce Tingler.
That’s not the role of journalists in those situations or any other. If everyone voted that way, what would be the point? If a zip code trumped the body of work, the award should not exist. The Brewers, despite the churn virtually all teams confront from season to season, were good in 2023 and good in 2024. The Padres, though, were an underachieving mess a season ago.
The Brewers lost All-Star closer Devin Williams for significant time. The Padres saw valuable Swiss Army knife arm Nick Martinez bolt in free agency. They gambled on two-thirds of their outfield, playing rookie Jackson Merrill in centerfield, one of the game’s most premium defensive spots, for the first time in the former shortstop’s professional career.
