How the Astros' evolved handling of young players will impact Yordan Alvarez

ASTROS ROUNDTABLE

Rookie sensation Yordan Alvarez has created quite the buzz in just a few games with the Astros.

In years past, the Astros were accused of manipulating service time of prospects to maximize the number of years those players were under team control. Most notably, George Springer and his former agent voiced exactly this concern earlier in Springer's career.

ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali discuss how that dynamic has seemingly changed.
