This past year was a momumental one for the Boston Red Sox. Not only as a team but on an individual level as well. Mookie Betts was named the AL Most Valuable Player earlier this month earning 28 out of a possible 30 first place votes. J.D. Martinez had a monstrous year and took his place as the heir apparent to Red Sox legend David Ortiz.
Martinez posted great numbers in his first season with the Red Sox (.330AVG/43HR/130RBI), but was snubbed in the MVP voting. For most of the season it was thought to be a two horse race between Betts and Martinez.
