Mike Trout had his worst season but still won the AL MVP by a unanimous vote. Clayton Kershaw won the NL MVP award. Flat out, he shouldn't have. Giancarlo Stanton is about to make more money than every person who will watch this video will make in their entire lives. Jose Fernandez isn't likely to sign a long-term deal with the Marlins. Salvador Perez played the most games at catcher of any player ever, and his offense suffered. Joel Hanrahan returns to the Tigers on a one year deal. The White Sox seem to have faith in Jake Petricka. Should they?
