What About Alvarez? The Cuban

What About Alvarez? The Cuban.

A text message from Astro’s GM Jeff Luhnow to Dodger’s GM Farhan Zaidi.
No, we won’t be trading Alvarez was the reply.
But wait, which Alvarez?
The Dodgers had just signed young Cuban pitcher Yadier Alvarez for $16 million but also young Cuban outfielder Yordan Alvarez for $2 million.

Which player were the Astros really interested?
Spoiler alert one is a top Hitter in all of baseball while the other is still yet to make good on early promise.
