Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero and outfielder Chandler Simpson have been named finalists for the Silver Slugger Award, recognizing the best offensive players at each position in Major League Baseball.
The announcement comes after both players featured prominently in the Rays' 2026 World Series run. A photo from Game 4 at Tropicana Field on October 27, 2026, shows Caminero (wearing number 13) celebrating with Simpson (number 14) after scoring against the Milwaukee Brewers during the fourth inning.
Silver Slugger winners are determined by votes from MLB managers and coaches, with three finalists named per position in each league. The awards honor the top offensive performers at every defensive position, plus designated hitter in the American League and utility player in both leagues.
