00:00Now, yesterday, correct me if I'm wrong, we were taking a look at Aaron Judge and his minus 600th to be the MVP of the American League.

00:07Hey, at least you get a little value in the National League here with Shohei Ohtani at a plus 260 price one month into the season,

00:14followed by Fernando Tatis Jr., Kyle Tucker, Corbin Carroll, Pete Alonso, and Juan Soto.

00:19So this, Mark, we have some ability to talk about maybe somebody taking down Ohtani

00:24because apparently there's not a single good Major League Baseball player in the American League outside of Aaron Judge.

00:30Talk to me about Ohtani at that plus 260 price.

00:33Not lighting the world on fire, but still the favorite.

00:36No, and listen, there's a couple of other guys there.

00:39Pete Alonso is having, I mean, he's no Aaron Judge, but those two guys,

00:45the numbers that they've put up through a month and a season have been absolutely over the top.

00:51I don't think you can sleep on Kyle Tucker with what he is really rejuvenated that lineup of the Cubs who can score with anybody.

01:00So, you know, again, it comes down to value here when we're talking about MVPs.

01:04Do we trust Ohtani to be healthy enough and to do enough to tie up money there at plus 260?

01:13Or do we go down the board with a Pete Alonso at 11 to 1 here or Corbin Carroll at 5 to 1?

01:20I think the National League is much, much closer than right now.

01:25You can't even make an argument for Bobby Witt Jr. over Aaron Judge.

01:29It's not even remotely close.
