NOVEMBER 15, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona, who was previously honored in 2013, is the eighth multi-winner of the award in the AL. Tony La Russa and Buck Showalter were three-time winners. The other two-time winners were Sparky Anderson, Joe Torre, Lou Piniella, Mike Scioscia and Joe Maddon (La Russa, Piniella and Maddon also won once each in the National League).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This election marked the third time an Indians manager won. Eric Wedge was the winner in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francona was the only manager named on every ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballots from two writers in each league city prior to postseason play are tabulated on a system that rewards five points for first place, three points for second place and one point for third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
