The AL MVP debate between Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani is heating as the season winds down, as both players have continued to amaze with their performances.
The latest person to chime in with their opinion is Angels interim manager Phil Nevin, who came over to Los Angeles after four years as the Yankees third base coach. And, despite Nevin’s personal relationship with Judge, he is rolling with Ohtani.
“I’ve said it before: He’s the most valuable player of our game right now,” Nevin said, via ESPN. “Until somebody can come in and do the things he does on both sides, I don’t see it going any other way. I love Aaron Judge like a son, but I’ll continue to say it: [Ohtani] can take over a baseball game like nobody can.”
