There have been enough rule changes in baseball in recent years — and more still on the way — so we’ll leave those alone for now and instead look at their awards.
Instead, we’ve got a different gripe: Why are there still two MVPs?
No other major U.S. sports league hands out more than one MVP award, and with interleague play now firmly entrenched in the game, there should be just one award-winner.

We all follow sports. And we know when a rule needs changing or a league policy requires overhauling. So let’s do it.
This is part of a five-day series at The Post where our writers will argue for which rules need changing, what those changes should be and why. We’ll tackle the NFL, the NHL, the NBA, the WNBA and MLB — plus we’ll dabble in college sports, golf and soccer, too. No stone left unturned — and no silly rule left unchanged.
Some of our proposals are minor. Some of them are major. Some of them are completely radical.
