Donaldson takes top prize from peers at Players Choice Awards
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson continues to collect the accolades coming off the best season of his five-year career.
After being named the American League Hank Aaron Award winner last month, Donaldson was named the 2015 Player of the Year at the Players Choice Awards on Monday by his fellow players, beating out Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper for the honor.
Donaldson becomes the second Blue Jays player to win Player of the Year, joining Carlos Delgado, who was given the honor in 2000.
