I don't see anyone catching him in the who-deserves-the-MVP race this year, but if they can give it to Miggy over Trout for a triple crown season they could give it to Vlad Jr. over Ohtani for a triple crown season. That would of course require him to overtake Ohtani in the HR race, which isn't all that likely, but if Joey Votto can hit 8 HRs in 6 days (spoiler: he can) I wouldn't count out Vlad.
