Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant has been voted the National League MVP, capping off a historic season for the 24-year-old star.Bryant received 29 of a possible 30 first-place votes.?Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy was the runner-up. Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, who was the unanimous winner of the NL Rookie of the Year award on Monday, finished third.?This year has certainly been one of the best years of my life, said Bryant, who is set to get married in January. I mean, winning a World Series, now this. Its just icing on the cake.Voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was completed by the start of the playoffs. The BBWAA has voted for the award since 1931.Bryant was arguably the best offensive player on the best team in the game and showed exceptional defensive versatility by playing in both the infield and the outfield.He hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.Bryant led the National League with a 7.67 WAR and was the only NL player in the top 10 in that category. He also ranked third in the NL in home runs (39), fourth in OPS (.939) and sixth in RBIs (102).?The 2015 NL Rookie of the Year, Bryant also led the league in runs scored with 121.Kris is just an impressive young man in every aspect, Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said. [He] is very mature, professional, light-hearted, but serious at the same time. Hes just kind of a dream player for any organization.Bryant becomes the Cubs first MVP since Sammy Sosa won the award in 1998. The once-forlorn franchise enjoyed its best run in decades and also had two of the seasons top MVP candidates, with Bryants teammate, first baseman?Anthony Rizzo, finishing fourth in the voting.If it wasnt for Anthony and his protection and guidance, I wouldnt have won this award, Bryant said. I mean, he texted me, and I said the same thing to him. I said, If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have been able to do this.Bryant joins Dustin Pedroia (2007-08), Ryan Howard (2005-06) and Cal Ripken (1982-83) as the only players to win Rookie of the Year and MVP honors in consecutive seasons. Ichiro Suzuki (2001) and Fred Lynn (1975) are the only players to win the awards in the same year.He was the unanimous NL Rookie of the Year after he hit .275 with 26 homers and 99 RBIs last season.Information from The Associated Press and ESPNs Jesse Rogers contributed to this report. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Wesley-Walker-Jersey/ .

WASHINGTON -- After the Baltimore Orioles put pitcher Chris Tillman on the 15-day disabled list as expected, manager Buck Showalter defended his decision to give his next start to Ubaldo Jimenez.The Orioles put Tillman on the DL on Wednesday with bursitis in his right shoulder and recalled right-hander Mike Wright. But Jimenez, who is 5-10 with a 6.94 ERA in 22 appearances this season, will start Thursday against the Washington Nationals.Tillman is 15-5 with a 3.76 ERA this season. Showalter mentioned him as an American League Cy Young candidate, and Jimenez knows hes facing pressure replacing him.Its never a good feeling when you have to take the spot when someone gets hurt, especially Tilly, the way he was pitching, Jimenez said. We really need him to be out there, but its part of the game.Showalter said Jimenez has the pedigree to fill Tillmans spot in the rotation, at least for one start.Hes probably tthe most equipped, Showalter said.dddddddddddd Hes pitched well here and against these guys. We looked at our options, felt like he was the one worthy of getting an opportunity.The 32-year-old is 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA in four career starts at Nationals Park.Vance Worley, who picked up his first major league save Tuesday in a victory over Washington at Camden Yards, could have been another option. But an outside alternative wasnt really a possibility.Im not going to get into critiquing what our other options are, Showalter said. I do know one thing. Everybodys getting blocked and claimed this time of year. We think Ubaldo is our best option right now.Wright was 3-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 11 starts for Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old is expected to fill a bullpen role for the Orioles.
