It’s the second World Series MVP crown for the high-level shortstop, previously winning the honor with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. Seager played with Los Angeles for the first six seasons of his career before signing a massive 10-year, $325 million contract with the Rangers in 2022.

Seager, understandably, declined to answer the head-scratching question. Who cares why they let him go? He’s a Rangers legend now.
