| 2000 | Receiving 25 of 32 first-place votes, the BBWAA selected Rafael Furcal as the National League Rookie of the Year. The Braves shortstop, the only player listed on all 32 ballots, easily outdistances Cardinal pitcher Rick Ankiel and Mets outfielder Jay Payton. |
| 2012 | With a year remaining on his contract, the Mets release outfielder Jason Bay after three disappointing seasons with New York. The move will not save the team any money as they will be responsible for the $21 million owed to the former National League Rookie of the Year, who signed a big free-agent deal with the club in 2009. |
