Five members of the Toronto Blue Jays were named honorees by the Toronto chapter of the BBWAA on Tuesday.

The following is from a press release from the Jays:

The Toronto Chapter of the BBWAA has announced its annual honorees. INF Vladimir Guerrero Jr. received the Neil MacCarl Award for Player of the Year, while RHP José Berríos was named Pitcher of the Year. The Most Improved Player Award went to RHP Bowden Francis and the Rookie of the Year award went to INF Spencer Horwitz. Also recognized was C Danny Jansen as a recipient of the John Cerutti Award for his goodwill, cooperation and character.

Guerrero Jr. had an incredible season for the Jays, who finished last in the American League East with a 74-88 record. He hit .323 with 30 home runs and 103 RBI, earning a fourth appearance in the All-Star Game. In addition to his All-Star appearances, he is also a Gold Glove winner and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner.

He is the centerpiece of the Jays lineup and is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

The 30-year-old Berrios went 16-11 for the Jays, making 32 starts and posting a 3.60 ERA. He struck out 153 batters in 192.1 innings. He is a nine-year veteran of the Minnesota Twins and Jays. He has also represented Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.

Francis stormed onto the scene and took the place in the starting lineup for the injured Alek Manoah. The 28-year-old made 27 appearances (13 starts) and posted a 3.30 ERA. Overall, he went 8-5 and appears destined for a rotation spot in 2025.

Horwitz, 27, hit .265 with 12 homers in 328 at-bats this season. He had 40 RBI and a .357 on-base percentage.

Jansen was traded from the Blue Jays to the Boston Red Sox at the trade deadline, but still left his mark on the Toronto community. In total, he spent parts of seven years with the Blue Jays and reached the playoffs with Toronto in 2020, 2022 and 2023.
