[Talkin’ Baseball] Shohei Ohtani and Barry Bonds are the only players in MLB history with more than three MVP Awards

1. Do it Sho

2. Well deserved.

3. I’ll have you know that I won the MVP 5 times in Tball!

4. Judge robbed of this from 2017 ;;;

5. He has a legit shot of at least tying Bonds by the end of his career.

6. I don’t really see a reality where Ohtani doesn’t break this record.

   Edit: as long as he stays healthy.

7. Bonds could’ve had two more.

8. Everytime I look at BB’s 7, it’s just seems like video game baseball.

9. 7*****

10. Is Ohtani’s current 5-year stretch the best 5-year run in MLB history?

    4x MVP, only losing to a 62 HR, 10.8 bWAR, all-time great season by Aaron Judge. Ohtani also came 4th in Cy Young voting that year.

    2x World Series Champion

    1x NLCS MVP, with one of the greatest ever playoff games in game 4

    5x All Star

    4x Silver Slugger

    50HR/50SB season in 2024

    50HR/50K season in 2025

    45.5 bWAR (pitching + batting)

    And add his success with Japan: WBC championship, WBC MVP, WBC All Team as DH AND Pitcher

    I know there have been 5-year stretches with higher bWAR, but including accolades and championships won, that’s gotta make up for it.

11. Ted Williams should have more but baseball writers are assholes

12. Just imagine what Shohei could do if he started taking steroids

13. *

14. Ohtani also has 2 more World Series rings than Bonds.

15. Judge got robbed by altuve, never forget

16. Fuck Altuve

17. Congrats Ohtani and some other guy!

18. We all know it should be Judge, Ohtani, and Bonds. Fuck Altuve.

19. Aaron judge has 4 too *****

20. Bonds won 7 MVPs?! Good lord

21. Mike Trout! You were the chosen one! 😭

22. Bonds should have had at least 8

23. Bonds should have arguably won 4 straight in Pittsburgh alone

24. I’m waiting to find out he’s juicing too.

25. Should be Judge as well

26. Incredulous to think bonds isn’t in the hall.

27. Bonds should be in HOF. End of story.

28. Shohei is going to win four more MVPs isn’t he?
