Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer and Cleveland Indians pitcher Shane Bieber are among the finalists for the top honors from the 2020 Major League Baseball season.

The Baseball Writers Association of America announced the finalists on Monday. Voting for the honors takes place after the final day of the regular season, which means postseason performances aren't considered.

The winners of the American League and National League awards will be announced from Nov. 9 to Nov. 12 on MLB Network. Each segment of those broadcasts will start at 6 p.m. EST.

Winners for the Gold Glove awards will be announced at 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday on ESPN. Silver Slugger award winners will be announced on Thursday on MLB Network. The All-MLB Team will be revealed during the week of Dec. 7 on MLB Network.
