Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch again for some time because of his knee.
Does that finally open the door for someone else to win the National League MVP?
In today’s episode, I explain why my answer is absolutely not, break down Shohei’s incredible season even if he never throws another pitch in 2026, and discuss why he’s still my clear MVP.
Plus:
– The latest on Shohei’s knee and Dave Roberts’ comments
– Tarik Skubal says he doesn’t want to be traded… But SHOULD he be?
– The Red Sox just won’t stop winning
– The Mets are open for business
– My latest MLB Power Rankings
Are the Dodgers making the right move by shutting down Shohei Ohtani from pitching?
