LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and the Cleveland Indians’s Terry Francona were named the American League and National League managers of the year, respectively, Major League Baseball said Tuesday.
Francona won easily, getting 22 of the 30 first-place votes and 128 total voting points in voting by the members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Francona, who also won the award with the Indians in 2013, is the 15th manager to win the award more than once.
