Although he doesn’t get a trophy, Cade Horton does get two valuable things for finishing second in the Rookie of the Year voting: first, he gets a $500,000 bonus payment from the pre-arbitration pool courtesy of the last CBA, and second, he gets credited with a full year of service time for 2025. That moves up his expected free agency from after his age-29 season to after his age-28 season, and that is something that could potentially wind up being worth tens of millions of dollars. The extra service time this year also provides Horton a little bit of a buffer if he were to – heaven forbid it, please! – suffer a bit of a sophomore slump next year and need to be optioned down at any point. It’s nice to see that, as a thanks for all the value Horton provided to the Cubs this year as a rookie, he’s getting a nice bit of value right back.

Some perspective. 2014 Jacob DeGrom: 9-6, 2.69 ERA, 140.1 IP, 144 K, 1.14 WHIP (won ROY)2025 Cade Horton: 11-4, 2.67 ERA, 118 IP, 97 K, 1.085 WHIP (did not win ROY)

WE WANT TO HATE YOU:Drake Baldwin on beating out Cade Horton for ROY: "I know its tough to judge who had a better year between a pitcher and a catcher. He had a fantastic year. I got to face him in two series. He looked really good. I'll just say that. If he had won…I would have understood why."

— MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) November 10, 2025 So that’s Horton as a first team all-rookie, and Matt Shaw on the second. Shaw also received a couple down-the-ballot votes in the Rookie of the Year race, including a third place vote from the one voter who did not include Horton on their ballot at all. OK, now I want Tatsuya Imai even more:Tatsuya Imai on pitching in the dead ball NPB"I didn't always dream of going to MLB.

— Yakyu Cosmopolitan (@yakyucosmo) November 11, 2025 The full quote if the embed gets cut off: “I didn’t always dream of going to MLB. But over the past 2 or 3 years […] I felt like there weren’t many hitters who were even trying to hit a homer off me anymore. A lot of lineups would just foul pitches off and run up my pitch count. I get that’s a valid part of strategy, but if I were a fan, I don’t think that kind of baseball is very fun to watch. Personally, I love power-versus-power matchups.” I was right that the league and sportsbooks would act quickly on individual pitch bets, but I was wrong that they’d seek to ban those bets outright. They instead chopped up the incentive to try to rig:"I commend the industry for working with us to take action on a national solution to address the risks posed by these pitch-level markets, which are particularly vulnerable to integrity concerns." — Commissioner Rob Manfred t.co/Znra10n3Br
— David Payne Purdum (@DavidPurdum) November 10, 2025 Capped at $200 and without the ability to parlay the picks to create a larger return, you would now THINK that the incentive to rig just cannot be created. At least not at legal books …. Interesting to see that preserving some measure of bat control, rather than swinging at your literal-absolute hardest, can generate the best overall production in the aggregate:Physics is undefeated. More bat speed equals more exit velocity, more margin for error. But how some folks talk about things can create fear, uncertainty and doubt … bat speed FUD. Let's talk about it: t.co/LWTflUL9pf
— Travis Sawchik (@Travis_Sawchik) November 10, 2025 In other words, bat speed absolutely matters, but control also matters. It’s almost an old school point. But the critical idea is that you’d therefore want to increase your average swing speed, rather than just the top end.
