If the MVP award truly was awarded to the player who is the most valuable player in relation to his importance to the team, then Yelich would win it hands down. The Brewers are holding it together right now, but if forced to play the whole season with, for instance, Gamel taking Yelich's spot, I doubt they are sniffing the playoffs. The Dodgers, on the other hand, are wining 90+ games whether Bellinger plays or not. But yeah, Yelich's injury I believe rules out any shot he had of taking home the hardware this year. He'll get votes, though, and will be one of the favorites for the award going into the 2020 season.
