Here is a look at 10 players currently eligible for free agency after the 2024 World Series ends.
The MLB on Sunday night announced the winners of the 2024 Gold Glove awards.
The 2024 class featured 14 first-time recipients, the most in a single year since 2022. That year was also the first time utility players received an award.
Gold Glove winners are determined with 30 managers and up to six coaches from each team voting from a pool of players in their respective league, excluding their own club. That vote counts for 75% of the selection total, with the other 25% stemming from the SABR Defensive Index.
Despite catcher Will Smith and utility player Kike Hernandez being finalists, no Los Angeles Dodger won an award.
