ASTROS ROUNDTABLE
The Astros seem to really have something special with Yordan Alvarez and his hot start to his career, but is the league eventually going to make some adjustments that slow him down?
Most likely Alvarez will show some regression, but his raw power is something he can rely on even if he struggles with consistency.
ESPN 97.5's Fred Faour, A.J. Hoffman, and Raheel Ramzanali share their thoughts on the Astros' phenom and how the league will try to combat his success.
With the MLB trade deadline just hours away, the Astros have made a deal with the Orioles to bolster the infield.
Per multiple reports, the Astros are trading for Orioles' Gold Glove (2022) infielder Ramón Urías.
