Even when the Toronto Blue Jays World Series odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook have priced them among the favourites, they haven’t always had a legitimate MVP candidate. Unlike the NFL and NBA, MVPs in MLB often come from teams that aren’t in contention.
There have been some great Blue Jays teams that didn’t have a serious contender for AL MVP.
Who Was the Last Blue Jays Player To Win the MVP Award?
Josh Donaldson was the last Blue Jays player to win the MVP award. Donaldson claimed the honour in 2015. He posted 7.2 bWAR and led the American League in total bases.
The third baseman topped the voting despite finishing with 2.1 bWAR less than Los Angeles Angels centre fielder Mike Trout. Trout and Miguel Cabrera had higher OPS marks than Donaldson.
Has a Blue Jay Ever Won the MVP?
Yes, two Blue Jays – George Bell and Donaldson – have previously won AL MVP.
