Tuesday Bantering: Tony LaCava staying, BBWAA Award finalists

There are little bits of news today. For one:

Sources: #BlueJays have signed interim GM LaCava to long-term deal. Will apply whether or not he is named permanent GM.

So it looks like LaCava will be around for at least a few years, either as GM or as an assistant GM. That's good news.

And the BBWAA has announced it's "finalists" for their awards. The term finalist is stupid, it is really the top three vote getters in each category, but this is the way they are doing it, so we might as well play along.

Two Blue Jays are finalists, David Price for AL Cy Young and Josh Donaldson for AL MVP. But Roberto Osuna doesn't get into the top 3 in the AL Rookie of the Year and Gibby is out of the AL Manager of the Year race.
