    Slight edge to Acuna, especially if we make the playoffs, it's close though.

    It’s Acuna in a slam dunk currently. Things can change obviously but it’s Acuna right now. Look at those numbers, plus defense.

    Slight? WAR says way otherwise

    Ronald has overtaken Soto in the OPS department by 26 points. That was Soto's best argument beforehand and that has basically evaporated. If he finishes out the season strong, you have to think it is Acuna's. The only thing I could see the Soto camp arguing now is his age and the fact he is doing this at 19.

    But in my eyes, Acuna is the clear favorite right now.

    “Soto is doing it at 19”. This is how I feel about Soto and his 19 age.

    Soto goes to chuckie cheese on his social security check.
    Soto can’t buy a beer yet but has his fully stocked speak easy from prohibition.
    Soto goes to a pediatric dentist to have his dentures checked.
    Soto likes to take his little rascal to the skate park.
    Soto tries to be a gamer on his Commodore 64.
    Soto was the only kid in elementary school to bring his lazy boy for nap time.
    Soto rides his big wheel to his AARP meetings.

    Soto is making a run

    Washington sweeps because of him.

    Trout lite needs to turn it up.

    For saber Acuna has almost double the war and leads in slugging and ops

    For traditional Acuna has more hrs more sb and has the winning team narrative

    Eh... Acuna’s last two-plus months has been nothing but a hot streak. Soto has been terrific but I think being the plug on a likely division winner will do it.

    What gets me the most with Acuna is that he has 20 walks to 20 strikeouts over the last month. What an insane turnaround.

    The last 2 months have likely cemented Acuna as the ROY, despite what Soto does the rest of the way (which is only like 16 games anyways)
