We get it. New York Yankees fans have been here before. The Mike Trout/Shohei Ohtani discussion has been ongoing over the past six years. And there's a discourse to be had. Just because you have the most WAR doesn't mean you should be MVP. There should be narratives tied to it.
That was what Yankees fans argued in 2022, when Judge broke the AL home run record with 62 blasts and led New York to 99 wins and a division title. Yet there were still Ohtani truthers out there fighting until their last breath that he should've won because of his representative offensive stats and incredible season on the mound.
