down ballot MVP votes?

Ok ok, you’ve read the title and had your laugh.

Ha ha, get it out now, but if you’ve already been overcome by hysterics and can no longer continue, you’re missing the point already.

In no way am I calling for Kyle Schwarber to receive first place MVP votes. Those are the kinds of votes reserved for players that are truly in rarified air during a season. Over in the American League, everyone else is just trying to get runner-up votes to Shohei Ohtani, hoping to snag a finish high enough to trigger some kind of bonus clause in their contracts.
