JRod simply isn't anywhere near the kind of hitter Witt, Gunnar, or Judge are if all four of those guys have healthy seasons. JRod has never demonstrated the kind of plate discipline necessary to be an MVP candidate.
It's possible JRod could have a great year, but 2025 is a big "prove it" year for him. He has to avoid yet another ice cold start and nagging injuries.
JRod is an exciting player though, so I'm rooting for him. But right now he's dangerously closer to Luis Robert than he is to the MVP contenders I mentioned above than most people realize.
