The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays delivered one of the most thrilling World Series ever, but the teams did not have a significant presence in the 68th annual Major League Baseball Gold Glove Awards announced Sunday.

The lone representative from the teams was Ty France, who won the American League Gold Glove at first base after a season in which he played for both the Minnesota Twins and Blue Jays. He was traded to Toronto before the July 31 trade deadline.

But despite the lack of Fall Classic combatants, there were plenty of intriguing elements to the awards, which honored 20 players from the National and American leagues.

The Kansas City Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia won at shortstop and third base, respectively, the first time in 12 years that players from the same team owned the left side of the infield. In 2013, Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy and third baseman Manny Machado won.

Dillon Dingler won at catcher in the AL, the first time a Detroit Tiger has won a Gold Glove since Ian Kinsler at second base in 2016.

Masyn Winn won at shortstop and became the youngest St. Louis Cardinal to win a Gold Glove.

Utility winners Mauricio Dubón (Astros) and Javier Sanoja (Marlins) each played seven positions during the season.

The MLB awards season will continue with the Silver Slugger Awards on Thursday and Friday and will culminate with the Cy Young and MVP honors next week. The entire schedule is listed here.

How the selections work

Both leagues have three finalists at each position, including the utility spot, which was awarded for the first time in 2022. The voting process is made up of MLB managers and coaches, who have 75 percent of the votes, and the sabermetrics community, which has 25 percent. Managers and coaches vote only within their own league and cannot vote for players on their own teams.
