			47 whole innings, that might be the greatest pitching season in history!  He should be the unanimous Cy Young winner!

			Nope. Didn't spend any innings working on his sun tan in RF.

			I hate the Yankees as much as the next guy but Judge is the MVP and it's not even close.

			7.2 fWAR as a player, 1.9 fWAR in 47 innings as a pitcher, I'm annoyed of all the Ohtani discussion as much as the next guy (add in the negative headlines he's been involved with this year), but how do you mock it? Has Judge been a better player this year? You can certainly argue that and not be wrong, if Ohtani throws even 100 innings next year he's best player in Baseball and it's not close.

			Raleigh made it a fun race down the stretch getting to 60 HR's, and he will probably get a few votes for MVP, but the award will 100% go to Judge. With that being said, I hope the Yankees get swept in the 1st round of the playoffs.

			Raleigh goes 0-2 with a walk versus Kershaw thru 5.1  Clayton struck out Cal on 3 pitches (including a curve for the punchout) and then Suarez, to deny him 50, at least through this point in the game.

			Braves fan, Yankees hater. I have zero cards of either guy. Waited to see the full body of work before crowning anyone.... To me Aaron Judge is clearly the AL MVP and probably the best player in baseball for the 2025 regular season. Nice year from Mid Dumper but not MVP worthy. |

			Cal must've been licking his lips going into that final series, given the recent Dodger bullpen woes, but the LA relievers got it together and to the Dodgers starters' credit, Raleigh and Eugenio Suarez were given plenty of good pitches to drive their milestone homers with.  They just couldn't do it. Judge might not be unaninimous again when the vote is counted, but he probably should be.
