The 2024 Most Valuable Player Awards saw unanimous wins for Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Arizona Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte also had a reason to celebrate, finishing third in the National League voting.

Marte's contract includes an incentives clause that will raise his salary from $16 million to $19 million due to his MVP finish. His impressive performance last season included a .292 batting average and 36 home runs, contributing to a significant increase in his earnings for the upcoming season.
