They are talking about the Witt Jr. vs. Judge MVP race on MLB Network Radio's Power Alley.
I think this MVP race this right there with Ted Williams vs. Joe DiMaggio in 1941 as one of the greatest ever. |

Still a HELL of a year, but Judge pretty much has it locked up at this point. |

Fangraphs has Judge's WAR at 9.7, Witt is at 9.6. I do think the modern day baseball writer is different from year's past and will consider Witt's positional value over Judge's sheer numbers. I generally agree, Witt probably needs to go off these last three weeks and have the Royals seize the division down the stretch to overtake Judge. |

If the Yankees and Royals are both wild card teams, I think Witt has a good case still because the Royals were a 100-plus loss team in 2023 and he doesn't have much surrounding him. I the that argument that he carried the Royals will come into play, whereas Judge has Juan Soto as part of his supporting cast.

The Royals have obviously improved a LOT more this year, but I would argue as good as Witt has been, it's been more due to the starting pitching. Judge clearly has the best companion is his lineup with Soto, but if not for a sucky injury recently the Royals would have had 3 100 RBI guys this year. I'd like to see what Witt, Vinnie and Salvy could do it that little league park over a 81 game sample size. But, right now, the Royals don't have enough quality LH bats in their lineup to beat the Yankees in NY consistently. Which sucks. |
