Justin Verlander did not win the Cy Young Award, which wasn’t that big of a surprise. It was a close race, and it was hard to predict who was going to win. What is a surprise is that two writers left Verlander off their ballots entirely.
Kate Upton to MLB: ‘I thought I was the only person allowed to f*** Justin Verlander’

Kate Upton, ultra-famous supermodel and Verlander’s fiancée, had thoughts.
That’s a screenshot juuuuuust in case the tweet disappears, but you can find the original here for posterity.
We here at SB Nation would like to weigh in this fracas.
- Justin Verlander would have received our vote.
- We said as much at the time.
- Please don’t turn your ire cannons on us, Kate Upton. We wouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of ire.
- Fred Goodall of the Associated Press and Bill Chastain of MLB.com were the two writers who left Verlander off their ballots entirely.
- I have it on good authority that they did it specifically to get your attention.
Meanwhile, the BBWAA website listed “Jason Verlander” as the second-place finisher, so maybe this is all a big misunderstanding. Either way, Kate Upton isn’t very happy, and she would like to let the world know about it.
