MLB.com Manny Randhawa: Right-hander Luis Gil is the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, narrowly beating out Baltimore’s Colton Cowser in the second-closest tally in Junior Circuit history since the ballot was revamped in 1980. The only tighter race went against New York, when the Royals’ Ángel Berroa beat future ’09 Yankees teammate Hideki Matsui in ’03. Back in the present day, Austin Wells finished third in the voting, with his cold, cold September costing him first-place votes (and the Yanks a shot at a PPI draft pick).
