Cabrera (L), Posey (R)
The Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA) has announced its choices for the AL and NL MVP honors. Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers was elected as AL MVP. Mike Trout (Angels) finished second and Adrian Beltre (Rangers) finished third in the overall voting. Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants was named the NL MVP—while Ryan Braun (Brewers) and Andrew McCutchen (Pirates) finished second and third, respectively. The IBWAA was founded in 2009 by Howard Cole, editor of BaseballSavvy.com. Members come from organizations such as MLB.com, Yahoo! Sports, and ESPN. Two members of the FenwayNation staff (the Editor-In-Chief and the Down-Under Editor) are also members of the IBWAA.
