Episode 469: AL MVP Race

**Episode 469:** There’s a pep in Dallas’ step today, courtesy of The Law Dog, Lawrence Butler’s walk-off bomb that gave the A’s their third consecutive series victory. Jared starts the conversation on the forever war the New York Yankees and New York Mets will find themselves in over Juan Soto. Internet discourse surrounding Soto during their series engulfed Baseball Twitter and potentially started another fire in a New York dugout. Aaron Judge’s comments on his “ace” Cam Schlittler’s MVP case get JayHay and the group thinking about who is in the lead for AL MVP. Has Yordan Alvarez locked up the award, or must he vault back into Triple Crown status to capture it? Stay tapped in for conversations about Fernando Tatis Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr. breaking his streak, and what one last Justin Verlander start could look like.
