- Joelle Milholm considers Ryan McMahon’s being announced as a Gold Glove finalist:
After a 17-error season for Ryan McMahon, his talent to make above-average plays still earned him a Gold Glove nomination this season. That with his improvement in the second half of the season, could be a turning point for the Rockies 3rd baseman. https://t.co/BvZjJ0fWPf
