On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the extremely tight race that saw New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge just edge out Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh to earn his third MVP award. While Raleigh had a historic season, doing something no catcher had ever done before by hitting 60 home runs, Aaron Judgeâ€s incredible performance could not be denied.

Later, Jake and Jordan talk about Shohei Ohtaniâ€s unanimous victory in the National League, earning his second consecutive honor in the senior circuit. They then get into the Paul Skenes-to-Yankees report that surfaced, Scott Boras busting out some classic one-liners in his annual GM Meetings press availability and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
