I absolutely agree. Ohtani should get the Aaron award and the MVP should have gone to the player whose team could not have achieved what they did without him. Ohtani had great offensive numbers in 2024 but the Dodgers would have made the post-season without him. The Mets definitely would not have made the post without Lindor. Why are the writers blinded by offensive numbers only?
There is a definition for MVP, WAR. As you know WAR looks at everything, Including fielding. The only reason it was as close as it was is because of Lindor’s fielding. Yes the Mets probably would not of got as far as they did without Lindor but that is too subjective to include in the voting.
Call me biased as I watched Lindor everyday, and there is absolutely no way the Mets make the playoffs without his leadership, defensive play, and absolute mind boggling offensive heroics. The total package should win the MVP.
