MLB Advanced Media, L.P. Retrieved 2011-08-21. The MLB Delivery Man of the Year Award (initially sponsored by DHL) was first given in 2005, but was replaced in 2014 by the Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year and Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year awards. In 1960, ''The Sporting News'' established its Fireman of the Year Award, to recognize the best closer from each league. In 2001, the award was broadened to include all relievers and was re-named ''The Sporting News'' Reliever of the Year Award (but was discontinued in 2011). In 2002, MLB began its This Year in Baseball Awards (later the GIBBY Awards and then the Esurance MLB Awards) (for all of MLB, not for each league), including Pitcher of the Year and Setup Man of the Year (becoming "Best Setup Man" in 2014). In 2004, a Closer of the Year category was added (becoming "Best Closer" in 2014) and "Pitcher of the Year" was re-named "Starting Pitcher of the Year" (becoming "Best Starting Pitcher" in 2014). In 2015, the Closer and Setup Man awards were dropped. In 2016, "Best Starting Pitcher" was renamed "Best Pitcher." In 2013, ''Sporting News'' began awarding its ''Sporting News'' Pitcher of the Year Award (first awarded in 1944) to two pitchers in each league — a starting pitcher and a relief pitcher — instead of one pitcher in each league. In or about 2000, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum began its Hilton Smith Legacy Award for "Relievers of the Year".

In 1992, the MLB Players Association began its Players Choice Awards, for the Comeback Player in each league. (There were no other awards that year. In 1993, the Comeback Player awards were replaced by an Outstanding Player award for each league. In 1994, two more categories were added. In 1997, the dual Comeback Player awards were again named.) In 2005, MLB started its own MLB Comeback Player of the Year Award. In 2011, MLB's GIBBY Awards added a Comeback Player of the Year category. ]
