SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who led Baltimore to its third postseason trip in five years, was recognized for his efforts on Monday night.
Showalter was named one of three finalists for the Baseball Writers' Association of America's 2016 American League Manager of the Year Award, revealed on MLB Network. He joins the Rangers' Jeff Banister and Cleveland's Terry Francona as finalists for the award, which will be announced Nov. 15 on MLB Network (6 p.m. ET air time).

Showalter is the only member of the O's among the finalists for the BBWAA awards, as closer Zach Britton, who won the Mariano Rivera AL Reliever of the Year Award, was left out of the top three in Cy Young Award voting.
