Silver Slugger finalists previewGM meetings start next week; a possible lockout may cancel the Winter Meetings, making the GM version unusually active.

Next week kicks off the GM gatherings, and a looming lockout could scrap the Winter Meetings, turning the GM version into a busier affair than usual. Could this spark unexpected moves?

The Silver Slugger finalists were announced yesterday, courtesy of Manny Randhawa at MLB.com and others. Winners will be named on November 17. Below is the National League slate:

  • C – Hunter Goodman (Rockies), Gabriel Moreno (Diamondbacks)
  • 1B – Jake Bauers (Brewers), Alec Burleson (Cardinals), Rafael Devers (Giants), Matt Olson (Braves)
  • 2B – Brandon Lowe (Pirates), Brice Turang (Brewers)
  • 3B – Alex Bregman (Cubs), Max Muncy (Dodgers)
  • SS – CJ Abrams (Nationals), Elly De La Cruz (Reds), Otto Lopez (Marlins)
  • OF – Corbin Carroll (Diamondbacks), Jackson Chourio (Brewers), Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs), Seiya Suzuki (Cubs), Fernando Tatis Jr. (Padres), Jordan Walker (Cardinals), James Wood (Nationals)
  • DH – Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers), Kyle Schwarber (Phillies)
  • Utility – Jake Bauers (Brewers), Sal Stewart (Reds), Fernando Tatis Jr. (Padres)

Managers and coaches cast votes, but they cannot select their own players. Here’s the American League roster:

  • C – Dillon Dingler (Tigers), Carter Jensen (Royals)
  • 1B – Pete Alonso (Orioles), Willson Contreras (Red Sox)
  • 2B – Kody Clemens (Twins), Chase Meidroth (White Sox)
  • 3B – Junior Caminero (Rays), Miguel Vargas (White Sox)
  • SS – Kevin McGonigle (Tigers), Zach Neto (Angels), Bobby Witt Jr. (Royals)
  • OF – Wilyer Abreu (Red Sox), Randy Arozarena (Mariners), Cody Bellinger (Yankees), Jac Caglianone (Royals), Chase DeLauter (Guardians), Riley Greene (Tigers), Tristan Peters (White Sox), Chandler Simpson (Rays), Mike Trout (Angels)
  • DH – Yordan Alvarez (Astros), Ben Rice (Yankees)
  • Utility – Sam Antonacci (White Sox), Ezequiel Duran (Rangers), Kevin McGonigle (Tigers)

A Silver Slugger award has highlighted the league’s top offensive teams in recent years, with the Yankees and Dodgers taking last season’s honors. These are the 2026 candidates:

  • Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Nationals
  • Astros, Rays, Twins, White Sox?

The NL powered most of this season’s run factories, claiming the top four spots while the White Sox settled at fifth. In my view, the league’s offense is simply unstoppable.
