New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is the favorite for American League Most Valuable Player heading into the 2024 season.
AL MVP futures present more value with Shohei Ohtani now in the National League. Ohtani has won the award in two of the last three seasons (2021 and '23), while Judge, the current favorite for the award, won in '22.
Judge is only one season removed from his MVP season and there are plenty of reasons to think he can bring home a second. Despite playing a career-low 106 games last season, primarily due to a freak toe injury, Judge hit 37 home runs and logged 75 RBIs. That would equate to 56 home runs and 115 RBIs in a 162-game season, and those 56 bombs would have led the MLB once again.
