Ronald Acuña’s NL MVP isn’t a shoo-in, it turns out. Look out for Mookie Betts.
Ronald Acuña’s NL MVP isn’t a shoo-in, it turns out. Mookie Betts now leads bWAR 7.6 to 6.5 and OPS . Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson also are in the mix.
Acuña leads the NL with 178 hits and a .416 on base-percentage and should become the first 30-60 man , but Betts — with his positional versatility that includes the unusual, even incredible combo of right field, second base and even shortstop — gets the nod here now.Mets GM Billy Eppler traveled to Japan in May to see top Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. A few other GMs have been as well — with the Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Cardinals, Rangers and Yankees among other interested teams.
Eduardo Rodriguez, with three years and $49M to go, is expected to opt out of his contract unless the Tigers are able to extend him before free agency. The Tigers are interested in keeping E-Rod, who showed how much he likes Detroit by turning down a deal to the Dodgers at the deadline. No surprise: Javier Baez will not opt out of his Tigers deal. He is due $98M over the next four years.
Hard to believe, but there’s someone unluckier than the Padres. Their 0-11 record in extra-inning games is only second-worst to the 1969 Expos , and their 6-22 record in one-run games also isn’t the worst .
