But first, it's award season in baseball, and the American League and National League MVPs have finally been selected. Let's start there.
Judge’s three MVPs, however, will still go down in history. His dominance in 2022, 2024, and 2025, three seasons in which he posted an OPS north of 1.100, 50 home runs, and a 200 OPS+, created three of the best runner-up seasons in history with his mere presence.
Maybe Judge can win two more MVPs to take a 5-0 lead on Jeter. It would be fitting, since Jeter leads 5-0 in World Series championships.
