MLB insider shut down Cal Raleigh’s MVP case, saying Aaron Judge’s historic 2025 season “just doesn’t elevate him” over the Yankees star.

Cal Raleigh (Seattle Mariners), Seiya Suzuki (Chicago Cubs) and Pete Alonso (New York Mets) have combined to make some rare baseball history that hasn't been seen in the last 19 years. Per Justin Havens of Underdog Fantasy: 2025 is the first season we've had 5 players with at least 75 RBI by the All-Star break since 2006.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh clubbed two more home runs in a 12-3 win against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, including a grand slam to help break the game open in the top of the ninth inning.

According to new simulation results, Judge is now the MLB’s most likely home run hitter on Saturday, with a significant edge over Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers, who are playing in San Francisco’s notoriously pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.

Though DJ LeMahieu was one of the quietest players in the Yankees' clubhouse — in public, with the media and, to a lesser degree, with his teammates — no one commanded more respect among his peers.
