The top two contenders in the MVP race are Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge.
Recently, former baseball players CC Sabathia, Sean Casey, Jake Peavy, and sportscaster Stephen Nelson joined in on the debate. Everybody has their own opinions, but Sabathia’s is quite interesting.

Who does Sabathia thinks will become MVP? Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge?
The 2009 world series champion with the New York Yankees, CC Sabathia, holds great importance in the game. As a former Yankee and the kind of player he was, his opinion in the game matters.
He considers Aaron ‘All Rise’ Judge as his little brother. But when asked who he thinks will become MVP, he said, “You guys all know who I think MVP is. He (Shohei) is the MVP. Every year that he is healthy, he continues to get better as a pitcher. You got to give him the MVP. “
Judge or Ohtani for AL MVP?

He is watching Judge and his game pretty closely, and he knows how great of a player he is and the things he will be achieving. He even said that if it wasn’t for Judge, the Yankees would not have even made it to the playoffs.
“But this guy(Shohei) is literally the best player that we have ever seen,” Sabathia said.

Talkin’ Yanks is obviously on Judge’s side.

Another fan did not think there is a need for a discussion as he already knows who the winner is.
@TheJudge44 and it's not fit for discussion.

Chris is not even a Yankee and still is on Judge’s side.

Mario Ortiz thinks Sabathia is being disrespectful to Judge
How I feel like CC is disrespectful to judge I really do I love CC but he’s losing my respect more and more with these type of arguments if it’s that big of a deal put Othani in a different category or debate cuz it sounds to me like they are really losing the concept of MVP

Whereas Jonn thinks debate on this topic is a laughable thing, and according to him, the winner is clear. And it is none other than thw two way star Shohei Ohtani.
To think there’s even a conversation about this is laughable. Ohtani is the only choice. If Judge gets a single first place vote that person should have their voting privileges revoked.

Ohtani for me he is outstanding can with games with both bat and ball. Drives in runs hits homers steals bases then gets to pitch and wins numerous games. He is definitely my MVP.
