Q: All of the sudden, Nolan Arenado is among the league leaders in home runs and RBI. I would say Fernando Tatis Jr. would likely be the favorite to win the MVP, but if Arenado can keep this up do you see him having a legitimate shot at the award?

A: Absolutely. Last week it was Bryce Harper that was all the buzz.
