I say this every year, but it's so dumb that people think of it that way. MVP is just a fancy way of saying "best player in the league." Or, if you want to take "valuable" literally, think of it as "absolute value," not "relative value to team." I want Yelich to win the MVP, but it would be asinine to give him more credit because his teammates are crappier than Bellinger's. Crappier? I don't think anyone is saying that but a lot of folks would agree the Dodgers would still win that division without Bellinger but would we be in the position we are in now if we didn't have Yeli until the other evening?
