Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani and the Yankees' MLB home run leader Aaron Judge both were both awarded Silver Sluggers, which honor the best offensive player at each position in each league. The awards precede what's expected to be an MVP coronation for each player later this week.

Shohei Ohtani, the first 50-50 player in major league history, and Triple Crown threat Aaron Judge lead the league Most Valuable Player finalists revealed on Monday.

"Other than the obvious," Judge said with a smile. "I feel like everything's obvious. He hits for average, hits for power, the speed. Doing what he did this year with the 50 stolen bases ... It got talked about a lot but I don't think it got talked about enough."
