It was disappointing to see that the Red Sox didn’t have a finalist for the BBWAA AL MVP Award for the 2019 season. I understand the politics behind it as the season was a wash and Boston didn’t even sniff the postseason. With that said though, there were some seriously great performances during the campaign, most notably from third baseman Rafael Devers.
When it comes to the American League MVP there are really one two spots that can change from season to season. As long as Mike Trout is in the league he will always be considered for the award, no matter how awful the Angels are.
