He did not apologize and his manager is standing behind his right to make the comment.
He is currently leading in two triple crown categories and is one behind in home runs which he was leading before when he was second in batting average.
Boston Sports radio (WEEI) has discussed all summer who will win MVP, Mookie (Who just hit a home run) or JD Martinez. They have suggested that Mookie has the edge because of his defense along with his offense.
Winning the triple crown is based strictly on stats. Either he does it or not.
I really don’t think the baseball sports media will hold JD’s politics against him if he is truly the MVP. The kicker here is that with two on the same team, they may cancel out votes.
