Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is a unanimous winner for his third NL Cy Young Award, while Cleveland stopper Corey Kluber is the AL Cy Young winner. Kershaw earned the pitching prize for the second year in a row, getting all 30 first-place votes after going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA for the NL West champions. Kluber edged out Seattle's Felix Hernandez for the AL honor after going 18-9 with 269 strikeouts and a 2.44 ERA in his first full major league season.
Meanwhile, Victor Martinez is staying put. Multiple reports say the Detroit Tigers have reached agreement on a four-year, free-agent deal with the 35-year-old designated hitter, keeping him in the middle of their lineup following perhaps the best season of his career.
