"Carlos Rodón's return to the South Side of Chicago was a happy one, the southpaw holding the team that drafted him to a run on seven hits in six innings in Friday's 10-2 victory. Rodón reflected on his seven years with the White Sox, including how young he was when he made his debut, the playoff games he pitched in, and the strength of the bonds with his fellow rotation mates and other teammates."
"He has a chance to achieve just the fourth 30-30 season in franchise history, Soriano having accomplished the feat twice and Bonds once. Boone credits the "aura" and "swag" that emanate from Jazz as elements of what help him perform his best on the field, the Yankees making an effort to allow players to be themselves more than previous iterations of the team."
"Raleigh leads baseball in home runs with 50 - the most by a primary catcher in MLB history - and tops the AL with 107 RBI. Judge is third in the AL in home runs (42) and RBI (96), but leads MLB in average (.321), wRC+ (194), and fWAR (7.8). While acknowledging the remarkable season Raleigh is putting together, Aaron Boone still backs Judge to defend his MVP crown based on being the more dominant overall hitter."
A tight AL MVP race features Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh separated by the smallest margins. Raleigh leads MLB with 50 home runs—the most ever by a primary catcher—and tops the AL with 107 RBI. Judge ranks third in AL homers (42) and RBI (96) while leading MLB in batting average (.321), wRC+ (194), and fWAR (7.8), and retains Aaron Boone's support to defend the MVP. Carlos Rodón returned to Chicago, allowing one run on seven hits across six innings and credited growth into a more complete pitcher. Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached a 25-25 season and could reach 30-30. Giancarlo Stanton took a planned day off.
