And he's on a real team. If Shohei is shut down and Julio stays hot for the next three weeks, who knows.

Stupid question, perhaps, but why don't they do the MVP voting after the postseason is over? Not just for baseball, but for football as well. I would have thought that postseason play (if any) should be taken into account when evaluating a player's value to a team.

I admire Ohtani for a variety of reasons. Trout also. But I suspect that it's easier to perform on the field when 1/5 of your games are meaningless.

For those that don't have Twitter/X

Ohtani's locker has been cleared out, looks like he's done for the year/done as an Angel. On the subject of MVP, I wouldn't be surprised if Julio wins it, should his historic 2nd half performance continue. Ohtani has also most likely played his last game as a Halo.

Ohtani has the lead but Julio and Corey have been closing the gap. With 16 games left and if Ohtani is not playing that lead is at risk

and also not the Final 2 months that the Angels or their fans were hoping for. I am sure they will start getting ripped in the off season for not trading him and getting something in return.

And now the full-time speculation can begin - where will he sign?

My prediction for top 5 most likely destinations

1. LAD
2. SDP
3. SEA
4. SFG
5. NYM

Would any GM in their right mind pursue and sign Nellie Fox today?

Without googling I bet no one can name the four players who struck out more in one season than Nellie did in 19 seasons.

I'll go out on a limb and say all 4 players accomplished this amazing feat in the last 10 years or so.

I'm going to guess, Chris Davis, Adam Dunn and probably a couple other guys I wouldn't suspect.

I feel the game is so radically different, today, than of that era. However for the sake of the question, Nellie Fox would be very highly paid in todays game. Very good contact/gap hitter, with solid speed and elite defense is handsomely awarded in really any era.

And to answer I would wager

Schwarber
Chris Davis
Adam Dunn
Mark Reynolds
