Sammy Sosa comments on the 2026 National League MVP race, saying he would not send the award to Los Angeles if he had a vote, and he points to Shohei Ohtani as the player he believes is being overlooked. The remarks frame Sosa’s stance around who he thinks should be recognized as the league’s top performer.
Both outlets reporting the story focus on Sosa’s selection for the MVP and his view that Ohtani does not deserve the distinction in the scenario he describes. While the New York Post and Yahoo Sports present the same basic message, they differ only in how they headline the claim, without adding separate details about additional contenders, voting mechanics, or statistical context. The accounts therefore align on Sosa’s position and his specific reference to Ohtani, but provide limited independent information beyond the headline claim.
Overall, the reporting captures Sosa’s public assessment of the MVP discussion for 2026 and his stated preference for the award’s direction away from Los Angeles.
