Aaron Judge Wins Second AL MVP Award

Aaron Judge has been awarded the American League Most Valuable Player Award for the second time, achieving a unanimous vote from the Baseball Writers Association of America. Judge, who led MLB with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs, is the second Yankee to win the MVP unanimously, following Mickey Mantle in 1956. His teammate Juan Soto finished third in the voting, and Judge credited Soto for his own success during the season. As Soto approaches free agency, his decision may be influenced by Judge's performance and the allure of playing for the Yankees. Judge's offensive achievements this season further cement his status among Yankee legends, and speculation grows about the potential pairing of Judge and Soto if Soto chooses New York. This award highlights Judge's significant contributions despite a less explosive finish compared to his record-setting 2022 season.
