Former Minnesota Twins player Trevor Plouffe is among those who claim that Judge is better than Ohtani, and that the Yankees slugger would win the MVP of the entire MLB, in statements published by totalprosports.com.
“I think Aaron Judge will win it over Shohei if he’s the league-wide MVP this year. The 50-50 thing (50 HRs and 50 stolen bases) looms large in people’s minds. I’d probably give it to Judge, and the fact that he obviously played in the field means something,” Plouffe said, referring to the fact that Ohtani played the 2024 season as a designated hitter.
“I think the cultural impact that Derek Jeter had probably eclipses what Aaron Judge has done. But I think Judge is a better baseball player than Derek Jeter, but if you ask me how the average Yankee fan is, I think he probably falls short,” Plouffe said.
Judge and the unanimous MVP
Judge was unanimously named American League MVP. He has won the title twice in the last three seasons and this year hit 58 home runs and recorded 144 RBIs.
The Yankees captain was pleased to win his second title after all the hard work he had put in. Judge also thanked his teammates for their constant support in helping him win his second MVP title.
he Boston Red Sox are still in the race to acquire the services of Juan Soto, and have now shown greater aggression to try to win the race to win the signature of the Dominican player and get ahead of six other teams that are in the hunt for the outfielder.
Boston is at a disadvantage when facing other teams with greater purchasing power, and after a meeting a few days ago between the Red Sox and Soto himself that lasted three hours, the monetary issue was not discussed.
