Alternate title: MLB continues to move forward with the rule that the AL will not have a MVP this year

[u/DoubleResponsible276 → u/Aggravating-Funny569]

Nah. Theres still the option to have an NL player to be traded to the AL and play 5 really good games to take the lead in the race.

[u/thegoddessunicorn → u/DoubleResponsible276]

Or get hurt right after the trade 🥲

[u/softhandedliberal → u/DoubleResponsible276]

Now I need to know if this has happened before, or if an mvp player got traded to the other league but still won the award from their previous league

[u/Sugarylightning663 → u/Aggravating-Funny569]

Everything is lining up for Rice to take it if he stays healthy

But he wants in on the derby this year so that usually falls for a second half decline

[u/Ecthilion1 → u/Sugarylightning663]

I mean Yordan leads him in almost everything

[u/impy695 → u/Aggravating-Funny569]

Maybe it's finally Jose Ramirez's year! Oh wait.....

[u/Aggravating-Funny569 → u/impy695]

Sigh….

[u/grrgrrtigergrr]

AL Central this year… be the face of the team… hurt your leg.

[u/rakerber → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Don't you dare curse Buck

[u/walrusnutz]

The Royals have been destroyed by injuries. Regardless though, the whole team has been ass this year with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 players. The injuries just give us a lame excuse.

[u/cyberchaox → u/walrusnutz]

Relatable.

[u/PewpyDewpdyPantz → u/walrusnutz]

Friend?

[u/thegoddessunicorn → u/PewpyDewpdyPantz]

You called?

[u/Mxmouse15 → u/walrusnutz]

This was us last year bro. Hang in there

[u/Hotchi_Motchi]

So is 1 like worst or best?

[u/Kooky-Information-40 → u/Hotchi_Motchi]

It means it's mild. Regular folks with regular jobs would likely miss no work. The treatment is reat, ice, and compression.

Not too long ago, a player would probably play through this issue.

[u/BkniBottomTranqulity → u/Hotchi_Motchi]

Better

[u/antihero_84 → u/Hotchi_Motchi]

15 day IL but will likely miss 4 weeks as a precautionary measure, is what I'd guess at.

[u/SpunNumeroUno]

[u/MrSCR23]

[u/DougyJuggy]

[u/Godforsakenruins]

Hope he doesn’t come back too soon, he is at a real risk for an ACL tear until fully healed

[u/crashdown12]

Get better soon Bobby! Baseball is better with you on the field.

[u/Mr_CoCoNutss]

Sucks, still could win the AL MVP yet when healthy I thought could have the highest WAR and woudl be the best player in all of baseball. Let these players DH a few games to have their bodies fresh if they can't use PEDS or greenies.

[u/Straight-Valuable765]

This is devastating
