In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the extremely close race that saw New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge edge out Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh to win his third MVP award. While Raleigh had a historic season, doing something no catcher had ever done before by hitting 60 home runs, Aaron Judge’s incredible performance could not be denied.
Later, Jake and Jordan talk about Shohei Ohtani’s unanimous victory in the National League, earning his second consecutive senior honor. They then get into Paul Skenes’ report to the Yankees that has surfaced, with Scott Boras pulling out some classic lines during his annual press availability for general managers’ meetings and making his picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
