In one of the most ridiculous takes of the offseason, Philadelphia Phillies star Nick Castellanos believes Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani should not have been the unanimous National League Most Valuable Player in 2024.
In fact, he doesn’t even think Ohtani deserved to win the award.
Castellanos fully believes New York Mets second baseman Jose Iglesias should have won the award — not even Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, who finished second. Ohtani earned 423 points in the MVP voting, while Lindor garnered 263.

“If you’re looking at the MVP as having the most weight on creating wins for your team, there’s no other player that has had that much weight as Jose Iglesias,” Castellanos said of his former Tigers teammate.
