Friday Bird Droppings: Where Cedric Mullins was the AL’s ninth-most valuable player

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Those in Birdland have already heaped mounds of praise on the Orioles’ splendid center fielder after his breakout 2021 season. His efforts didn’t go unnoticed by the national media, either. In the American League Most Valuable Player voting results announced last night — in which Angels two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani was the unanimous winner — Mullins finished in ninth place, an extraordinary showing for a player saddled with such an abysmal team.

Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins came in ninth in American League MVP voting, the highest finish — AL or NL — for a player on a 100-loss team in 70 years.
