Mariners fans will not appreciate the Dodgers gaslighting with Will Smith
Seattle Mariners v Los Angeles Dodgers | Ronald Martinez/GettyImagesThere's been a deep and at times heated debate over who deserves to be named 2025 AL MVP between Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge. Objectively speaking, both have had tremendous campaigns and in a lot of seasons each would be the clear favorite if not for each other.
However, what has been frustrating for Mariners fans is the irrational take of certain Yankees/Judge supporters, who don't think Raleigh deserves to even be in the conversation. To hold such an opinion is outright asinine. (Although this is also a fanbase which has people who genuinely believe no other team's supporters have had it worse since 2009.)
