Alvarez’s probability currently sits at 91.8%. It has ranged from 81.0% to 93.5% over the period. The contract moved +0.0 pts in the past day. The market resolves to the player who wins the 2026 AL MVP. In case of a tie, it settles according to the official winner under MLB rules; if multiple winners are announced, it resolves to the player whose last name comes first alphabetically. Should the season be cancelled, postponed past December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or no winner declared by that deadline, the market resolves to “Other”. The resolution relies on official information from Major League Baseball, though a consensus of credible reporting may suffice. The market will settle once the MVP winner is announced, with a final deadline of Nov 13, 2026. As that date approaches, the value of any outstanding contracts will become binary. Cancellation or postponement of the season beyond the deadline would force a resolution to “Other”, a scenario already embedded in the current price.
