A look at the MLB award leaders at the 2016 All-Star break

The All-Star break is a lot of fun, but it is also very weird. MLB takes a four-day break mid-season and, by nature of the rest of the calendar, virtually nothing of note occurs in the entire sports world. Still, it provides baseball fans with an ample break to evaluate what has transpired to this point in the 2016 campaign, and we will do just that with a check-up on the league’s award races.

Let’s get started, beginning with NL Rookie of the Year (with a no-brainer at the top) and moving on all the way through AL MVP at the end of the line.
