Free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson became the first three-time winner of the Marvin Miller Man of the Year, part of the players’ association’s Players Choice Awards.
The 37-year-old Granderson was also the winner in 2009 and 2016. He split last season between Toronto and Milwaukee. The award is given annually to a player for on-field performance and contributions to the community that inspire others.
Boston designated hitter J.D. Martinez was voted Player of the Year, Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was selected the AL’s Outstanding Player and Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich was chosen the NL’s Outstanding Player.
