Per Mark Newman at MLB.com:
"Thank you so much for this tremendous honor," Jansen said via video. "I'm so sorry that I could not be there to receive the Trevor Hoffman Award from the man himself, a pitcher I respect and always admire. … Thank you for the legends and Hall of Famers to vote for me. To earn that respect from the greatest reliever of all time means a lot."Per Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider:
“Kenley’s had a tremendous career as a Dodger that we hope will continue,” Dodger president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Monday. “He’s been a big part of our past success, and we hope he’s a part of our future success. The specifics of any negotiation with any player, we don’t delve into, but it’s well-documented what he’s meant to this organization, and we’ll kind of play things out this winter.”Below is a video of Kenley talking about the award and
