San Francisco Giants Consider Tony Vitello for 2026 Manager Position Amid MLB World Series Developments

The 2025 MLB World Series will feature the National League champion Los Angeles against the American League champion Toronto, with the series starting on Friday and ending November 1. Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers is the favorite to win the 2025 World Series MVP, an award given since 1955 and renamed after Willie Mays in 2017, with pitchers having won the most MVP awards historically. The Silver Slugger Award, honoring the best hitters at each position annually since 1980, has been won multiple times by players from teams like the Angels, Mariners, and Astros. Notable Angels players with multiple Silver Slugger Awards include Tim Salmon and Vladimir Guerrero, who bolstered the team's offensive prowess, while Seattle has seen stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez earn several Silver Sluggers. Carlos Lee's 2007 Silver Slugger win with the Astros stands out as surprising given the stiff competition that year, highlighting the subjective nature of the award selection process. These awards and recognitions underscore the individual achievements that contribute to MLB teams' successes and narratives each season.
