I would imagine it's tied to the points somehow. I know that I was piloting my 1870s era club and I got more points (about 26?) when I finished second-to-last when my owner's expectation was "better than .500" and only 8 points when I was a bit under .500 and my owner's expectation was "win it all".

Needless to say, I didn't win the manager of the year either time. In fact, I was fired, and wouldn't you know, was jobless just during the stock market crash of 1873! Where's the compassion?

Assuming it goes off the points, if this were done more true-to-life, it would take the points from the end of the regular season, not from the end of the postseason.

Technically most regular season awards are voted on before (or supposed to be voted without regard to) the playoffs.

Again, assuming it goes off points, it may be that whatever bonus points you get from winning/making the championship series makes it difficult to win the MOTY without winning/making it to the championship.

So it may not be that it awards it to those clubs de facto, but that the extra points make it seem that way.
