It wasn't the result we wanted, but it's the result most Philadelphia Phillies fans should have expected. On Thursday, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) revealed the National League's Most Valuable Player, with Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber losing another award to Los Angeles Dodgers unicorn Shohei Ohtani.
The results of the voting, done by writers from every NL city, saw Ohtani claim all 30 first-place votes in a unanimous 420-point sweep. Schwarber finished second with 23 second-place votes and 260 points.
The New York Mets' Juan Soto came third with 231 points. Phillies shortstop Trea Turner placed fifth with 102 points.
