Outside The Confines: Most Valuable news
Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY SportsGood morning. We actually have an honest-to-goodness major deal to talk about today.
Late last night, the White Sox dealt left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer to the Braves for right-hander Michael Soroka, left-hander Jared Shuster, shortstop Braden Shewmake, infielder Nicky Lopez and right-hander Riley Gowens. So the Braves get a lefty coming off a bad year and they also get to clean out their 40-man roster.
They announced the BBWAA Most Valuable Player Awards for this year and the winners were the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr. For the first time ever, the vote in both leagues was unanimous.
