Logan Forsythe was just named the MVP of the Tampa Bay Rays by the local chapter of the Baseball Writers of America, and they probably chose wrong. One look at Wins Above Replacement according to Baseball-Reference, Fangraphs, or Baseball Prospectus tells us that Kevin Kiermaier‘s all-time great defensive season and solid offense makes him the most valuable player on the team. Both Fangraphs and BP even put Evan Longoria ahead of Forsythe as well. Whether or not Forsythe is the most valuable player on the team doesn’t matter too much, though–all we need to know is that he has emerged as a core player for this team after entering the year as a platoon guy.
