It’s a results-based award.

Is a no hitter enough of a result for you?

He had to have someone finish it for him. Not a winner.

Scherzer has to get the NL Cy Young, right?

Scherzer has to get the NL Cy Young, right?

Him or Gausman, but leaning Max.

 

[CyYoung31]

Gausman isn’t sniffing the Cy Young award.

Burnes

Odds that Vlad Jr takes the AL MVP if he gets the triple crown?

Ohtani has got plenty of hard core support.

Ohtani has got plenty of hard core support.

For sure. He's been out of this world this season. Vlad is likely going to get the best player on a playoff team crowd as he carries the Jays to a WC spot. We aren't that far removed from another triple crown winner taking the MVP to a superior player. I'm curious how the vote is going to turn out.

 

[CyYoung31]

Ohtani not winning the award would be a crime against humanity. Triple crowns are rare. You know what’s even more rare? What Ohtani is doing. Add to that, he’s the best player in the sport this year.

 

[The Tariff King]

MLB will give them AL co-mvp honors.

Not quite.

Ole buddy Brad Brach was DFA'd... right handed reliever... pick him back up?

Do they need someone to clean the clubhouse after everyone goes home?

 

[weso1]

Would Ohtani be the first pitcher to win the MVP but not the Cy Young award?

 

[CyYoung31]

What I want to know is why we are off today and not Thursday before we go out West.

Him or Gausman, but leaning Max.

If I had to guess in terms of results and peripherals, it's probably Scherzer, Burnes, Wheeler, Gausman. I personally think it should go to Burnes but the mid-season trade story may be enough for Max. Neither of them would be a bad choice, of course.

Odds that Vlad Jr takes the AL MVP if he gets the triple crown?

I'd certainly hope this doesn't happen. I love Vlad but he's been quite a bit less valuable than Ohtani.
