Bregman, Keuchel and Machete all finalists for Gold Gloves.

https://www.mlb.com/news/gold-glove-award-finalists-named/c-299683866

My layman's predictions:

Keuchel reclaims GG ownership;
Perez over Machete;
Chapman is all but a lock at 3B.

I find it hard to believe there are 4 3rd baseman better than Bregman

Arenado and Chapman, definitely. I would assume Machado didn’t have enough time at 3B to qualify.

Astros players with four or more Gold Gloves:
Craig Biggio
Cesar Cedeno
Doug Rader
Dallas Keuchel

Jake Kaplan  @jakemkaplan 16m ago
Only 10 pitchers have more than four Gold Gloves, the number Dallas Keuchel has won over the last five seasons. He's now tied with Jim Palmer and Mark Buehrle.

Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome 19m ago
Dallas Keuchel is the first American League pitcher since Kenny Rogers (2002-06) to win four Gold Gloves in a five-year span.

The final SABR Defensive Index rankings (https://sabr.org/sdi/2018-final) were also released today (a 25% component of the GG award, the other 75% being a vote by managers and coaches):

  • Keuchel 8th among AL pitchers
  • Maldonado & Stassi 4th & 5th among AL catchers
  • Yuli 5th among AL first basemen
  • Altuve 11th among AL second basemen
  • Bregman 9th among AL third basemen
  • Correa 6th among AL shortstops
  • Marwin 5th among AL leftfielders
  • Springer 6th among AL centerfielders (DDJ was 1st)
  • Reddick 7th among AL rightfielders

Just doing the eyeball test, Bregman and Reddick seem too low. DDJ is the shocker to me. I guess Marisnick didn't play enough?

Apparently they're only measuring how much ground was covered, not whether the play was made.

Verlander a close second to Blake Snell in the Cy voting with Gerrit Cole coming in 5th. (https://bbwaa.com/18-al-cy/)

ETA:
Crusty old fart Bill Madden, who mysteriously still has a gig with the NY Daily News and someone who the BBWAA in their infinite wisdom decided to give a vote for the Tampa Bay area instead of someone eminently more qualified such as longtime Rays beat writer Marc Topkin, didn't have Verlander in the top three on his ballot and put Blake Treinen and his 80 innings ahead of JV.

Very impressive.  What an honor fro Strom.  And, good for BA for creating the category.

Also makes him even more of a target for other teams to nab and promote to a elevated position.
