Example Sentences
Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell would be the most obvious name for the Dodgers to pursue.
Corbin Burnes is a former Cy Young winner whom the Dodgers had trade interest in last year, though is projected to command even more money than Snell, which might price him out of the Dodgers’ plans.
In 1981, he became the the first, and remains to this day the only, player to win the National League Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season.
