Minnesota Twins first baseman Carlos Santana has been named the recipient of the 2024 Rawlings Gold Glove Award.

Santana is the latest Twin to receive the award since 2017, when Byron Buxton and Brian Dozier were named recipients.

Other American League first-time winners in addition to Santana include Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., Royals pitcher Seth Lugo, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, Houston third baseman Alex Bregman, Toronto center fielder Daulton Varsho, Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu and Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore.
