What’s left?

Believe it or not, there are a few more accolades that the 2022 St. Louis Cardinals could pick up this offseason.

All MLB Team Fans can vote for the All-MLB Team until Nov. 22. The award intends to honor the best position players, in addition to starting pitchers and relief pitchers. The awards will be announced on Dec. 5. Cardinals nominees include Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, Tommy Edman, Albert Pujols and Ryan Helsley. Edgar Martinez – A committee of baseball beat reporters, broadcasters and public relations departments cast votes for MLB’s most outstanding designated hitter. The award has generally been given to American League hitters, though could change after the National League inherited the designated hitter full-time in 2022. Perhaps it’s one last shot at an accolade for Albert Pujols.Reliever – A panel of retired MLB relievers cast votes for the best relief pitchers in the American and National Leagues. No Cardinals have ever won an accolade, but maybe Ryan Helsley has a chance.

MLB has not yet released timetables on when the Edgar Martinez or Reliever awards might be announced, though both are expected this offseason.
