Healthy Yankees have little excuse not to win it all this year

Aaron Judge walloped his 56th home run, followed immediately by the obligatory “M-V-P” chants, if only mildly and briefly this time.

No one needs convincing anymore. That individual race is decided now.

Royals wunderkind shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is a terrific all-around player. But Judge is putting together an all-time season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone, while mentioning that other guys are having “unbelievable” years, correctly pointed out Judge is “another level.” Those other unmentioned guys — presumably Witt Jr. and Judge’s teammate Juan Soto — are MVP worthy with their numbers in another year, but this year Judge is again racking him numbers like a video game champion.

Aaron Judge homered in the Yankees’ loss on Tuesday night.
Over the last half century, the only player to post a higher OPS plus than Judge’s 221 heading into Tuesday is Barry Bonds, and his medicinal forays took him to another planet.

Anyway, the MVP derby isn’t what’s concerning us at the moment.
