Here's a clue on one of the guys that may help or may completely confuse you: He went from an NL East team to an NL West team. But if we had the alignment the way it is today he would be going from an NL Central team to an NL East team.

Clue for the other guy--There is someone currently playing in the majors with the same name.

I was hoping that was just convoluted enough that it wouldn't be too easy.

But ok, let's turn it up a notch. Name the 9 players with an MVP in their first year after being Traded from another team. First clue -one is named Bob Elliott. (I've never heard of him so I figured I'd make him a free square. All the rest of them are pretty familiar to me.)

That's all I've got. Most baseball trivia I know goes back to maybe 2005, but the late 2000s is usually my cutoff and I can't think of any others in that time frame.

Yeah you got the two most recent ones. The other ones are well known to me, but maybe not newer fans.

Mitchell, Stanton, ARod…

Robinson

Mitchell, Stanton, ARod…

Stanton in his last year with Marlins and ARod in his 3rd year with Rangers and 2nd year with Yankees

 

[Cedrique]

Mitchell, Stanton, ARod…

No, no and no. These are all guys that won the MVP with their new team

 

[Cedrique]

Robinson

Yes. that's 4- Elliott, Robinson, Donaldson, Yelich. On a side note I'm surprised I hadn't heard of Elliott. He looks like he was a borderline HOF er. Easily first ballot Hall of Very Good

Isn’t that what you asked???

 

[Cedrique]

Isn’t that what you asked???

Yes, that's what I asked. But those guys did it the year Before they were traded.

 

[calsnowskier]

Mitchell was traded for Davis (other players involved).

Mitchell won the MVP for the Giants
Davis won the CY for the Padres
