Heyward, Javy, and Rizzo Nominated as Gold Glove Finalists
Rawlings announced the finalists for the Gold Glove at each position Thursday afternoon, and there are three familiar names on the list. Jason Heyward looks for his sixth Gold Glove in right field, Anthony Rizzo looks for his second at first base, and Javy Báez aims for the first Gold Glove of his career at second base.
It’s good to see Javy nominated, as in past years he was absent from the list due to his lack of a set position on the field. Here are the nominees going up against each Cub.
