There’s usually at least a little debate over who takes home baseball’s major awards. When discussing the 2018 National League MVP, some have pointed in the direction of New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom.
Easily a favorite for the National League Cy Young with only a low win total going against him, the MVP honor may still be a little further out of reach. However, there’s an argument to make in his favor.
At least, this is what I believe. Hall of Fame pitcher Goose Gossage thinks differently.
Gossage sent an interesting email to sportswriter Mike Petriello on the topic as a response to an article he published discussing deGrom’s case for the MVP.
