The Major League Baseball calendar certainly doesn't end once a World Series champion is crowned.
Sure, that's the most coveted trophy across the game, but there is plenty of other hardware left to hand out as well. Here's a look at all of the important dates when it comes to the 2024 awards season.
Upcoming awards are listed first, followed by those that already have been announced.
UPCOMING
Nov. 21: BBWAA MVP Awards
6 p.m. ET on MLB Network
Shohei Ohtani is considered the frontrunner to win his third MVP Award in four seasons -- albeit his first in the NL. On the AL side, Aaron Judge likely separated himself from the rest of the pack down the stretch, though it remains to be seen how the voters will evaluate the field in each league.
Nov. 22: Heart & Hustle Awards
10 a.m. ET on MLB Network
This award is presented by the MLB Players Alumni Association and is voted on by alumni as well as active players. It goes to the active player "who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game." Each of the 30 teams has one nominee, and a winner will be selected from that group.
ANNOUNCED
Nov. 20: BBWAA Cy Young Awards
