It’s that time of year when the race for the MVP begins to take shape. The disrespect toward Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker on behalf of the sports media is embarrassing. What it boils down to is hype over production.
Winker is atop the National League in virtually every meaningful category except for one; mark size. The national media has snubbed Jesse Winker, and his teammate Nick Castellanos when discussing the race for NL MVP.
