Has a relief pitcher ever won a Gold Glove?

Cano is definately gold glove conversation worthy.

 But will he be recognized?

Zero people field the position better than him but some get way more chances because they start.

He is an excellent athlete, really fun to watch him field the position.  In particular Cano has a great first step that is aided by him finishing his delivery ready to field.  That was an impressive play all around.

Covering first tonight on that play...I'm always shocked at how quick and nimble he is for a guy of his size.

It would be cool if at the end of the year the Orioles put together a video of Cano defensive highlights.

If he becomes a full-time closer I think there are other things that are going to be much more visible and they likely aren't as flattering.

With this bullpen, it's pick your poison.

Cano has been pitching well lately.  I'd stick with him as the closer for now.

His delivery ending position is perfect for handling fielding or stare-downs, whichever may come.

Looks like he may not be eligible: https://www.rawlings.com/gold-glove-criteria.html

Well, that sucks.  And these days, it eliminates all but about 75 pitchers in MLB from consideration.   Kind of dumb in this day and age IMO.

I blame Palmeiro.
