Finalists for the 2025 Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) Awards were unveiled, which includes the Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year honors for Major League Baseball’s top talents.

BBWAA winners will be announced over four days next week, beginning with the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards on Monday, Nov. 10.

Manager of the Year follows on Nov. 11, Cy Young winners are announced on Nov. 12, and it concludes on Thursday, Nov. 13, with the MVP Awards.

All BBWAA Award winners will be announced live on MLB Network with special shows starting at 4 p.m. PT for each designated day.

The voting process to determine the winners and finalists for each category is run by the BBWAA. Two writers from each MLB city are recommended by the local chapter chairman and approved by the national secretary-treasurer to vote for each award.

Voters submit their ballots before the start of the postseason.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had two finalists as Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto finished in the top-three for National League MVP and Cy Young voting, respectively.
