Judge wins AL MVP in runaway; Goldschmidt takes NL prize

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Aaron Judge’s record-setting season with the New York Yankees turned that AL MVP debate into a decisive verdict. A lot of hard work throughout the years to get to this point.” After hitting 62 home runs to break the American League record, Judge easily beat out Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani in an MVP race some thought might be close. “I mean, there’s been so many people that have helped me.” San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado finished second with 291 points after getting seven first-place votes and 13 seconds. The tallest MVP in major league history, Judge also led the majors in runs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, extra-base hits and total bases to help the Yankees win the AL East. They don’t like being told you can’t do something, so it’s definitely motivation.” The seven-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner was runner-up for NL MVP in 2013 and 2015, then finished third in 2017 — all with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
