The term “value” is tossed around an awful lot in the baseball world. The most important individual award even has the word in its name. The exact meaning of it is heavily disputed, however, and there are a lot of ways to interpret it, all of which can be at least partially correct.
Thinking about value in the negative direction is no different. This year’s Yankees least valuable player is not the most illustrious award, but someone has to dejectedly hoist the trophy. Considering all angles as best as I could, the (un)lucky winner is Aroldis Chapman.
