Astros Outfield Shakeup & Yordan's MVP Opportunity
About this episode
Eight games under .500 and seeking a spark, the Astros shook up their struggling outfield by signing LaMonte Wade Jr. and sending Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land. Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome discuss Wade's arrival and the decision to demote Loperfido before revisiting some missed opportunities this winter to solidify the outfield. The two then discuss whether slugger Yordan Alvarez is the new MVP favorite in the wake of Aaron Judge's rib fracture.
