Trout and Bellinger Win MVPs

Mike Trout and Cody Bellinger are the 2019 AL and NL MVPs. Trout took home his 3rd career MVP award as he edged out Alex Bregman of the Astros, despite missing the last few weeks of the season with a foot injury. In his eight full seasons, Mike Trout has finished first or second in the MVP voting seven times. Only one player has more MVPs than Mike Trout: Barry Bonds. Cody Bellinger took home his first MVP award after an elite season on both sides of the ball. Bellinger's defensive versatility shined as he won a Gold Glove in right field (not his natural position), while being able to slide over center field or first base when necessary. Bellinger's 9.0 bWAR led all of baseball. All this (and more) on today's episode.
