The Atlanta Braves were in the enviable position in 2019 of having as many as five players deserving of the club’s MVP award.
Ronald Acuna nearly had a 40-40 season. Ozzie Albies led the NL in hits. Freddie Freeman set career highs in home runs and RBIs. Mike Soroka made the All-Star team and will be a top five Cy Young candidate.
But the one guy that was more valuable throughout the course of the season was Josh Donaldson.
No, this is not some hot take.
