To the surprise of no one, New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge was named as one of the nominees for the American League MVP. Joining him in the voting will be Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, as expected, and poor José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians, who also turned in a stellar season, but has no shot.
With that, get ready for the debate between Judge and Raleigh to reignite with more ferocity than ever as fans eagerly await the results. For Yankees fans, this exercise has grown tiresome, as anyone looking at the competition objectively knows that the choice is easy.
