Four Red Sox Named Finalists For Gold Glove Awards
BOSTON (CBS) -- It was not a banner season for the Boston Red Sox, but a quartet of regulars has the chance to at least get some hardware out of it.
MLB announced three finalists at every position for the 2019 Gold Glove Awards, and four Red Sox found themselves on the lists.
Unsurprisingly, three of those players were the everyday outfielders, as Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts were all finalists at their respective positions.
The fourth Red Sox player to be named a finalist was catcher Christian Vazquez.
Betts will be looking to win his fourth straight Gold Glove Award in right field, while Bradley will be looking for his second straight award. Benintendi and Vazquez are hoping for their first Gold Glove.
