Aaron Judge’s MVP Take Ignites a Baseball Fight

Aaron Judge’s stance on pitchers winning MVP sets off a heated argument over whether a starting pitcher can truly be the most valuable player in baseball. Evan argues that pitchers should remain eligible and points to Pedro Martinez’s 1999 season as proof, while Tiki and Shaun push back hard on how much value a pitcher can provide when appearing only once every five days.

The debate turns into a full-on baseball philosophy fight over workload, team success and whether modern starters can ever do enough to win MVP. Plus, a Mets caller raises a bizarre question after spotting an injured player leaving Citi Field before Pete Alonso’s return, leading to a discussion about the club’s future at first base.
