MLB in Brief: Will Jacob Misiorowski Win the MVP? | Trevor Story’s Future

Will Jacob Misiorowski be named MVP?

He's among the favorites.

The Yankees and catchers

Do they want a No. 1 catcher? Not necessarily.

The Yankees aren't ready to give up on Austin Wells. They value his defense highly.

That means the most likely upgrade will be someone who can share duties, rather than an undisputed starter at the top of the market. https://t.co/lYLSFmx5F1

Trevor Story's Future

It's becoming less and less clear.

It does feel like time is running out for Trevor Story in Boston. He's a really good veteran leader, but he's struggled to stay healthy and can't be relied on to be an impact player at this point. He's

owed $30M after this season. They might just have to write off that money. https://t.co/Cy4rHU6UyK

The Blue Jays don't want to trade Kevin Gausman

But they know they don't really have a choice.

“The Blue Jays don't want to trade Kevin Gausman; I think they just know they have to at this point.” … He mentions that the market for Gausman will be “tremendous” and anticipates that Gausman will be traded. https://t.co/tu5DFas7wo
