When it came down to the National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award last season, Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. won the honor unanimously in an incredible season. Also up for the award was Braves teammate Matt Olson who also had an impressive season, but was losing the award hard for the slugging first baseman?
There is absolutely no love loss from Olson who stated that he “never cared too much about” winning the award or losing it to his peer in Acuna. He would even say that Acuna was always going to win MVP and frankly “he should have” according to an interview with Steve Kornacki of MLB.
