Dodgers: Why Cody Bellinger should win the NL MVP award

By now, everyone associated with the Dodgers, fans, and players alike know all about the Dodgers’ World Series drought. What they may not know is that the Dodgers have another drought that has been going on since 1988. Although Clayton Kershaw won the NL MVP award in 2014, a position player has not won the award for the Dodgers since 1988.

Kirk Gibson won the NL MVP award that season by hitting 25 home runs and stealing 31 bases. Prior to Kirk Gibson, Steve Garvey won the NL MVP award in 1974 but since 1988 the Dodgers are looking for a position player to end that MVP drought.
