The Cubs had the most regular-season wins in 2016 with 103, won the NL Central for the first time since 2008 and did so in commanding fashion, and got through the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers in the first two rounds of the postseason, and capped it off by beating the Cleveland Indians in seven games of the World Series. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Miami Dolphins and Toronto FC are the four other nominees. The winners will be announced on May 24.

Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts was also nominated as sports executive of the year, alongside Ari Emanuel/Patrick Whitesell (WME-IMG), David Levy (Turner), Michele Roberts (NBA Players Association) and Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner.
