Here are the finalists at each position for the 2018 Gold Glove Awards. The winners will be announced Sunday. Royals catcher Salvador Perez and outfielder Alex Gordon are on the list. Salvy is a four-time winner and Gordo a five-time winner in left field.
Yadier Molina won the award eight years in a row, but hasn’t taken home the hardware since the 2015 season. Kolten Wong is one of the NL second baseman reps. Harrison Bader was a surprise snub for the award. Many point to the 20-defensive runs he saved in the outfield this season as a major plus.
