In what has been touted as a too-close-to-call AL MVP race by baseball pundits the world over, the TTFB staff has spoken loudly in favor of Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera. This old school vs. new school debate is as divided as last week’s presidential election, yet Cabrera earned a landslide victory at TTFB by earning 18 votes to L.A. Angels’ Mike Trout’s four.
The NL MVP wasn’t close either. San Francisco’s Buster Posey came out on top with 13 votes, with Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun finishing second with five votes. Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen and St. Louis’ Yadier Molina finished tied for third with two votes apiece.
The awards will be handed out live tonight at 6:00 EST on MLB TV.
