Miguel Cabrera was named the American League MVP for the second straight year on Thursday night, while Andrew McCutchen cruised to National League MVP honors.

Cabrera earned 23 of 30 first-place votes to once again beat out Mike Trout for the award.

McCutchen received 28 of 30 first-place votes to easily top Paul Goldschmidt.

In recent RealGM polls both Cabrera and McCutchen were tabbed as winners of the MVP award in wide margins.

Terry Francona and Clint Hurdle were honored as the top managers in the American and National League, respectively.

Francona edged long-time friend John Farrell of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox 112 points to 96.

"I have a feeling he wouldn't trade what they did for this any day of the week," Francona said.

Hurdle was a runaway winner, selected first on 25 of 30 ballots after taking the Pittsburgh Pirates to the playoffs in their first winning season since 1992.

Wil Myers and Jose Fernandez were named the Rookies of the Year in their respective leagues on Monday night.

Myers was chosen first on 23 of 30 ballots, beating out Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias and Tampa Bay Rays teammate Chris Archer for the American League honor.

Fernandez received 26 of 30 first-place votes in the National League, topping Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shelby Miller of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Myers and Fernandez were both voted as Rookie of the Year in recent RealGM polls.

The finalists for the Baseball Writers Association of America awards for the 2013 season have been announced.
