Congratulations to the Yankees’ Aaron Judge and the Cardinals’ Paul Goldschmidt, both of whom won their first MVP Awards last night. They both had fantastic, even historic, seasons and now they can call themselves MVPs forever.

And that’s the thing: Once you win an MVP, you can call yourself that for life. But you’d be surprised by some of the great active MLB players who still have never won one.

Here’s a look at seven great players who have never won the award, but have put together the sort of careers that make you think one is coming … and maybe coming soon.

With the two latest additions, there have now been 185 MVPS in AL/NL history. Will Leitch sat down and ranked every single one of them (don’t peek at the bottom first!).

Five players previously did what Aaron Judge has just done: win an MVP Award as they became a free agent. If Yankees fans would like to take it as a sign, four of the five re-signed with their clubs.
