Bleacher Report's 2016 1st-Quarter MLB Season Awards

For a sport that's not known for being fast-paced, time really flies in baseball. The 2016 MLB season is already a quarter of the way in the bag.

That means we're here for an updated look at the major awards races.

We last checked in with the four big honors—Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young and Most Valuable Player—in the American and National Leagues as the season headed into May. Not all of the races have changed leaders since then, but enough have to make things interesting.

Read on for our pick for each award, complete with one runner-up in every category.
