Major League Baseball announced Thursday afternoon that St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt won the NL MVP.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado came up short in the race for the 2022 National League Most Valuable Player Award, finishing as the runner-up.This is the second time in three years Machado has come up short as a finalist for the ultimate individual career accolade. He finished in the top five in AL MVP voting twice as a Baltimore Oriole, in 2015 and 2016.
Machado's bat was crucial for keeping the Padres' season afloat, especially with shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s absence from the lineup due to injury and his suspension. Strong batters supplementing the lineup weren't added until the trade deadline in August, when San Diego acquired Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury — all of whom earned a Silver Slugger award.
