Congrats to @ElvisandrusSS1 on being named a @RawlingsSports Gold Glove finalist for AL shortstops! https://t.co/jnTeG5N7p4
The gold glove is voted on by managers and coaches around the league, though they are prohibited from voting for their own players. Gold Glove winners will be announced Nov. 7.
Andrus is among the American League leaders at shortstop in multiple categories: double plays turned (2nd), assists (1st) and putouts (1st). He has never won a gold glove award in his nine-year career. Andrus is up against Cleveland's Francisco Lindor and Los Angles shortstop Andrelton Simmons.
The rest of the finalists can be seen right here.
