Manny Machado Deserves The MVP Attention
Manny Machado has quickly become one of the best young players in baseball. Yet for some reason, he is sometimes still not included in the national discussion for the best young player in baseball. Names like Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, and Carlos Correa are mentioned, but Machado’s name is often forgotten in these discussions.
So what will it take for Manny to finally receive the recognition he deserves?
In 2016, Machado is looking like the clear American League MVP candidate. He is slashing .360/.416/.691. He has hit ten home runs, with 23 RBI. He also has hit 15 doubles. At this pace, he’ll hit 49 homers, 74 doubles and drive in 113.
