00:00
So, we'll start with the American League MVP.
00:05
The obvious name that jumps to mind is Aaron Judge.
00:07
Aaron Judge to win the award or any other player known as the Field Joe.
00:12
I'll let you talk numbers and then let's talk about what the field looks like.
00:16
Yeah, both of these guys have a shot at the Triple Crown.
00:19
I think Ohtani a little bit more than Judge, we'll get to him in a second, but you know,
00:24
you got Gunnar Henderson, you got Bobby Witt having great seasons.
00:26
Bobby Witt, by the way, the only guy playing better than Lawrence Butler over the last
00:30
30 days with a higher OPS in all baseball is Bobby Witt.
00:34
So an injury to Aaron Judge, which God forbid, I mean, Yankee fans are already on the top
00:39
of the ledge.
00:40
This would just send them right over it.
00:42
Let's say that toe becomes an issue again or some other problem for Aaron Judge, like
00:45
that's going to be an issue, right?
00:47
I think that's the only thing that could stop him from winning this award.
00:50
He plays in such a public team.
00:51
I don't know if anybody else, he has Soto with him, right?
00:57
So you can say, well, you know, he's got another big superstar with him.
00:59
Bobby Witt doesn't.
01:00
What Bobby Witt's doing is more impressive.
01:01
Gunnar Henderson, I think, is equally impressive.
01:03
Sure, the race could change if the Yankees continue to tailspin, you have to imagine
01:09
the Yankees are going to level out at some point, they just have too much talent to not
01:13
level out.
01:14
So if you're going to struggle, this is the time to struggle.
01:16
You don't want to struggle in September.
01:17
You don't want to be limping into the playoffs and having no momentum.
01:21
So we'll see if the Yankees can figure things out.
01:23
But right now, look, minus 370.
01:26
I think they're telling you this award is pretty much signed, sealed, and delivered
01:29
for Aaron Judge.
01:30
And I kind of agree at this point, barring catastrophe.
01:33
Okay.
01:34
Now, with that said, I think both the Yankees and Aaron Judge are praying that Juan Soto
01:38
wins this award because look at it from the side of Juan Soto.
01:42
Judge wins this award.
01:43
Juan Soto says, yo, if I was anywhere else, that award would be mine.
01:47
If he cares about things like that, if Juan Soto wins the award, they can sign him long
01:51
term.
01:52
I don't know if that's the deal breaker, but just the thought in my mind when you're
01:55
talking about player versus the field, but yeah, it's judges to lose.
