00:00I'll be honest, guys, like I was really excited for this upcoming segment.
00:04We have like six minutes that we can spend not talking football on a Monday and we got
00:10some new MLB MVP award markets out over the weekend and if you remember a random day in
00:17July here on the early line where Donny Rightside said one of the most outlandish things in
00:22the history of outlandish things that DRS said that Aaron Judge would not only not be
00:27the American League MVP favorite entering 2025, he probably wouldn't have one of the
00:32three or five shortest prices.
00:34Well what has happened?
00:36The American League odds are out.
00:39You did.
00:40We can find the tape.
00:41In fact, we should have found the tape.
00:42Yeah.
00:43You said he wasn't in the top three and probably not even top five.
00:46Yeah.
00:47All right.
00:48You know what?
00:49I stand by that.
00:50I stand by it.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Here are the American League MVP odds.
00:53By the way, Aaron Judge is the favorite at three to one, nearly $2 in front of everybody
00:59else in this league, Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals, second best price over in the National
01:06League.
01:07One of the reasons that Donny made the point that Aaron Judge would not be the favorite
01:10was expecting Juan Soto, I guess, to remain with the Yankees and be the American League
01:16MVP favorite.
01:17But as I say that and I'm starting to jog my memory, I think Donny advocated for Bobby
01:22Witt Jr. to be the favorite.
01:24Juan Soto is not even within $3 of Shohei Ohtani now in his new league.
01:29And Ohtani, of course, was always going to be the favorite.
01:32Ohtani is going to pitch more than likely once again in 2025 for L.A.
01:37Again, this should have been a gotcha, ah, ha, ha, ha moment at Donny Redside, who never
01:42loses an argument, by the way, because when he loses an actual argument based on what
01:47he has said, he just changes the argument only to have my producer in who I thought
01:53to be my friend, Joe Frizzo, who was a part of the argument with me in July that Donny
01:59was being asinine about a minute before we come back from commercial break to say, you
02:04know what, Donny?
02:05I actually think if Soto was in the AL, you were right.
02:08He would have been the favorite.
02:09You got just take it away, DRS.
02:10I'm not even having fun.
02:11OK, go ahead.
02:12All right.
02:13So let's take a look.
02:14What facts are facts here?
02:15You never know if Soto was going to be the favorite in the American League because he's
02:17now sits in the National League.
02:19And again, Ohtani is over there on the other side at plus 180.
02:22But also the Yankees themselves go, Aaron Judge, we're going to play hardball with you.
02:28We don't think you're worth that much money here at this point.
02:30You know what?
02:31We'll settle on three hundred sixty million.
02:33One year later, they go, Juan Soto, we think you're double the player that Aaron Judge
02:37is here.
02:38We're willing to go over seven hundred and fifty million dollars for you there.
02:42So let's just see a look what the Yankees actually think between both of those ball
02:46players at this point.
02:47Why didn't the Yankees figure Aaron Judge was worth five hundred to six hundred to seven
02:52hundred million dollars?
02:53But we'll never know who is going to be the MVP at this point.
02:55But the one thing I do know to the Yankees, they think the better player was Juan Soto
02:59and they think it's twice as better as Aaron Judge based on the contract alone.
03:03How about that?
03:04Yeah, I mean, it's a very, very good point, really, when you think about it as well.
03:08You got guys like Brian Cashman sitting in the odds room with the FanDuel Sportsbook
03:13and say, hey, we would have paid Juan Soto seven hundred mil, but we only paid Aaron
03:17Judge just a little bit north of three hundred.
03:19So if you guys want to take that into account of a hypothetical thing that Donnie started
03:23off by saying, let's look at facts being facts, Juan Soto would have been the American League
03:28MVP favorite.
03:29I don't even care anymore.
03:31I don't care enough about baseball to get heated into a debate with Donnie.
03:35He was obviously proven wrong because the fact.
03:39Is what you said, Aaron Judge would not be the American League MVP favorite in twenty
03:44twenty five.
03:45Those were the words that I thought it would be Soto.
03:47So now what's how is it factual that I was wrong?
03:50Explain that to me.
03:52What's the fact?
03:53How was I wrong?
03:54I'll be honest, ma'am, I like he's he's not in the American League.
03:58I didn't hear a word you said.
03:59It's not like.
04:00But but but but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
