Colton Cowser should win it. He didn't even start as the starter. He came in and even though the orioles ajve struggled, he has over 20 hrs and has played great defense in the outfield. Wells is good but hasn't played as many games and Gil was terrible for a stretch and the Yankees have played well as of late but struggled too.

Quatraro took the 56-106 Royals to 85 wins and a likely playoff spot. The Tigers improved by less than 10 games and yes Vogt and the Guardians have been great and he should be a close 2nd, but they’ve been good the past 10 years outside of 2023. KC hasn’t been good since 2015.

Although Quatrato also deserves a lot of credit for the Royals. The Royals has already bought him good pieces to work around with (Wacha, Lugo, Smith, Renfroe.) but Hinch did his from scratch. NL MOTY: Pat Murphy HAS to win MOTY will the absolute stun he showed the baseball world being the first to clinch.

I think shotas not in roy conversations cause everyone recognizes him being a rookie feels like a technicality

[@m.t.v.7934]

The Mets and Braves are going to have a tough last 5 games of the season now they have to make up 2 games because of weather. It sucks for Witt and Soto that Judge was just that much better this season. I always felt they should split the MVP into 2 winners for each league. The BEST player and the Most Valuable Player

As a Seattle Mariners fan i appreciate the Bryce Miller shoutout. He hasn't gotten enough hype this year for how dominant he has been.

[@JJCooley]

8:53 Webb also has 200 innings, will likely lead the NL in innings for the second straight year

[@ianpatrick2975]

He somehow managed to talk about a met in every category, idk how he does it

[@GiraffeNeckMarc]

Didnt mention a Met for ROY, Lindor is quite literally going to finish top 3 in MVP, Mendoza has a good chance at MOY. Manaea was only one thats a stretch and i even admitted that

[@infernalking5513]

As a red Sox fan it pains me and makes me happy to see Chris sale finally playing so well just wished he could have been healthy for Boston also i think Abreu not getting more love for rookie of the year is nuts

[@mr.johnson9252]

If alex verdugo is not AL MVP, im unsubscribing

[@KingNoah8372]

Mr. Groundout to second

[@TCMKingGT]

@@KingNoah8372dang lol

[@HappyBUDDY123]

I’m a yankee fan and even I know that that’s bs

[@somedude1901]

Brent Rooker should get some MVP votes for sure. Deserves a mention

[@lexzone-six9912]

Carlos Mendoza shouldn't have any more claim to manager of the year than Brian Snitker. The Braves had to deal with far more injuries than the Mets did and they still managed to beat the Mets for the 5 seed in the NL.

[@YoAsianLike]

9:04 Seth Lego be looking like big justice

[@Chance_2018]

Gotta give some love to Yordan and Vladdy in my opinion I don’t think Ramirez will finish top 5 in mvp votes because these 2

[@Arden2000]

Sale finally getting his Cy Young with the Braves of all teams after not pitching a full season in 7 years has to be sickening for marc lmao

[@MyNameJiff]

Those first 2-3 months with Imanaga were fun for roty chances then Skenes and Merrill came along and Imanaga had a couple of bad starts and the Cubs were a dumpster fire for the middle of the year. Unfortunate
