MLB Roundup 11/16: Christian Yelich wins National League MVP

Mookie Betts is the American League MVP, which we learned officially last night but really knew was coming for at least a couple of months now. The same could be said for the National League side, that probably deserved more drama than it had but in reality has been a foregone conclusion since around mid-September. To no one’s surprise, Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich took home the top individual honor in the National League, taking 29 of 30 first place votes. This was obviously a well-deserved honor for the former Marlin, particularly after a scorching-hot second half helped lead Milwaukee to a division title over the Cubs and the best record in the National League.
