The MVP award for the 2016 "regular season", awarded following (post) the 2016 regular season, was to Trout instead of Betts....as a Yankee fan, it is exceedingly tough to admit that Betts was far more deserving than Trout that season.

For the Angels, yet another undeserving "regular" season award .

As you mention, if ROY was indeed a "post-season"/playoff award, Ohtani would not have been eligible since the Angels finished the season below .500 (80-82), just as they were also below .500 in 2016 when Trout was awarded the MVP.
