Major League Baseball announced Yankees slugger Aaron Judge as your 2025 American League MVP despite an historic season from Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. Dan is convinced the east-coast bias favoring the Yankees is the reason Raleigh was snubbed.
Dan Patrick: “If Aaron Judge was on Seattle and Cal Raleigh was on the Yankees, who wins MVP? And that’s a rhetorical question because we know that Cal Raleigh, as catcher of the Yankees, and he is a Gold Glove catcher, he is going to be your MVP, right? They would talk about, ‘Oh my gosh! He’s the next Thurmon Munson!’ We know this played a role… If Cal Raleigh was the catcher for the Yankees hitting 60 homeruns, winning the division, developing a young pitching staff, being a Gold Glove catcher, he wins the MVP.”
