In trading for Andrew McCutchen, the Yankees have added to the list of MVP winners to have played for the team throughout history. McCutchen won the award in 2013, getting all but two first-place votes.
Most of the players on that list won the award while playing for the Yankees. The franchise has been around forever, and they’ve been the most successful team in the league. It makes sense that they would have had seen so many of their players receive recognition over the years.
It’s extremely unlikely that McCutchen will win another MVP while playing for the Yankees.
