Taylor Walls won the American League Gold Glove at shortstop Sunday, becoming the first player in Tampa Bay Rays history to win the award at the position.
Walls led major league shortstops with 21 Defensive Runs Saved. He had been a finalist at shortstop in 2025 and as a utility player in 2023.
The Rays also exercised Walls’ $3.1 million option for 2027 on Monday. Chandler Simpson, Tampa Bay’s other finalist, finished behind the Yankees’ Cody Bellinger in left field.
