A trio of Cubs are finalists for National League awards by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Pitcher Jake Arrieta is up for the Cy Young Award, Kris Bryant is the heavy favorite for Rookie of the Year, while Joe Maddon is a finalist for Manager of the Year.
Former Cubs manager Rick Renteria is the new bench coach for the White Sox. Renteria led the Cubs to 73 wins in his first and only season with the team in 2014. He was replaced by Joe Maddon. Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer admitted Tuesday that Renteria wasn't treated "entirely fairly".
