Astros offer was before the non-waiver deadline.Didn’t the dodgers put a claim on him too?
The more I think about it, the less I believe Andujar got robbed. I get the argument about Ohtani not having as many at-bats/innings in as other players, but stop and consider how ludicrous it is that we’re trying to discredit him for what he didn’t do as a pitcher AND batter.
Look at the numbers he put up when he did play and anyone can see that he was a plus batter/pitcher. Ohtani deserved it more.
AL ROY
1. Shohei Ohtani
2. Miguel Andujar
3. Gleyber Torres
This shouldn't even be a debate -- Ohtani produced 3.6 fWAR and 3.8 rWAR this year when you combine his bat and his pitching, and did so in less than a full season of playing time in either role (although 300 AB and 50 innings is, taken together, something like a full workload). He should win this with a unanimous vote; no one else is close, not even Torres, whom I once ranked as the No. 2 prospect in baseball and still believe is a future star, and whose numbers took a small hit because he spent the year playing a new position.
I think Andujar had a more important impact on his team given the fact that ya know, the Yankees were relevant all season long.

Thank God he was there to carry Judge, Stanton, Gregorious, Sanchez, and yet another stud rookie in Torres.![]()
