Mauers cool and all but Greinke put up a 16-8 record, 2.16 ERA, 6CG,3SHO,229.1 IP, 242 Ks, ERA+ of 205!!, 2.33 FIP, 1.073 WHIP, had 2.6 more WAR than Mauer, had higher WPA, and led the league in HR/9, ERA, WAR, ERA+, FIP, and WHIP. 2009 Greinke was one of the most dominant pitching seasons i've seen and should've won MVP IMO.

Has the MVP ever gone to a player on a team that lost nearly 100 games? I think it should be possible but I bet it never happens.
He also should have won NL Cy young in 2015. I will die on this hill.
That explains the tears on his Cy Young
Mauer never had a season close to 2009 ever before or after. I don’t think he ever hit over 14 homeruns ever before or after. That year was an anomaly and I’m not so sure it wasn’t BALCO induced when you look at all of his stats season to season.
