They should have done one for Westburg too! Big whiff by Fangraphs on him as well, they were much lower than anybody else. Melton is a 50 FV and #78 overall on the Board so that would make more sense for Cowser. -

Good pull but that was 40 years ago. Last 25 we have Judge and Arod who had a pair of 9 win seasons. I don't think a big market bias is there for awards anymore. -
They're surprisingly close offensively. Judge gets a decently large boost to his counting stats by playing in the short porches of Yankee Stadium. 1/2/3 in offensive runs are Judge, Shohei, and Gunnar. Gunnar overtakes them because of his defense and positional adjustment, which is significant (around 1 win between Gunnar and Judge, around 1.5 wins between Gunnar and Shohei) but all three of them are hitting so much that it's not a huge percentage of their overall contributions. -
I think he was implying that giving it to a non-Yankee was preferable just because we like sticking it to the big evil empire. But to answer your question, the last MVP that went to an undeserving Yankee was Mattingly in 1985, who won it over George Brett, Rickey Henderson, and Wade Boggs. Even without looking at traditional stats Mattingly was clearly inferior to those guys; the only stat he had over them was RBI. Henderson was a Yankee at the time so clearly it wasn't entirely Yankee bias that gave the award to Mattingly, more just a case of a misunderstanding of what makes a player valuable. Just by looking at traditional stats I would have expected Boggs to take that one.
