That according to MLB Network’s “Top 10 Third Baseman Right Now”. For the second consecutive season, Donaldson topped the list as the very best player at the hot corner.
Quite surprisingly, Josh Donaldson fended off Kris Bryant for the title, but Donaldson’s track record and perennial MVP candidacy edged him out ahead of Bryant on the list of top third baseman in MLB.
