Athletics: Pitching potential and fancy glove work could turn several A's into dark-horse candidates for hardware. More >
Blue Jays: Star power and potential award winners litter Toronto's roster. More >
Braves: Atlanta will run out one of baseball's top prospects, Dansby Swanson, at shortstop, with an MVP candidate lined up across the infield at first in Freddie Freeman. More >

Brewers: Milwaukee has a couple of National League Comeback Player of the Year candidates -- including one who came back all the way from Korea in Eric Thames. More >
Cardinals: St. Louis' awards fate will hinge on a Cy Young candidate at the top of the rotation, Carlos Martinez, and its defensive stalwart behind the plate, Yadier Molina. More >
Cubs: The reigning World Series champs are loaded again, with potential MVP, Cy Young and Gold Glove Award candidates all over the roster. More >
D-backs: Whenever you talk Esurance Player of the Year, you talk about Arizona's first baseman, Paul Goldschmidt. More >

Dodgers: Guess which lefty is again the favorite for NL Cy Young? More >
Giants: San Francisco's rotation is topped by Madison Bumgarner, who perennially finds himself in the Cy Young and Silver Slugger Award conversation. More >

Nationals: At least one player on Washington's roster seems to take home a major postseason award every season. This year should be no different. More >

Reds: First baseman Joey Votto should once again be in the discussion for NL MVP as well as a bevy of other offensive awards. More >

Rockies: Third baseman Nolan Arenado will remain in the NL MVP discussion for the foreseeable future because he can do practically anything on the field. More >
Royals: The award potential on Kansas City's roster centers around its array of glove-heavy talent. More >
Tigers: Starting with Justin Verlander and Jose Cabrera, Detroit will once again trot out some of baseball's best on the mound and at the plate. More >

White Sox: Chicago has a Cy Young candidate in the rotation (Jose Quintana) and a Rookie of the Year favorite waiting in the wings in Yoan Moncada. More >
Yankees: Coming off an outstanding spring, Masahiro Tanaka could make a case for AL Cy Young, while New York has not just one bullpen piece in the running for Reliever of the Year, but two. More >
