MLB execs Yordan Alvarez prediction would be terrible outcome for Astros fans

However, two MLB executives predicted Alvarez could be dealt this year, which would be a terrible outcome for the fans in Houston.

"Yordan Alvarez was the only other player to receive more than one vote, with one NL executive theorizing that the Astros' 12-20 start could prompt big moves in Houston," Feinsand writes. "Even if that was to happen, trading Alvarez would be a bold move to say the least."

If the season keeps unfolding like it is, seeing Houston sell some players at the deadline would not be a surprise at all. A few of their big-name players, like Isaac Paredes, Christian Walker, and Bryan Abreu, could be on the move.

Trading Alvarez would be a massive leap and fully start the rebuild in Houston. He's under contract for the next three seasons through 2028, and is currently posting a 1.153 OPS this season.

Houston could get a massive return if it traded the superstar lefty slugger this season, but there are plenty of reasons to avoid such a deal. The fan backlash should stop such a trade from happening.

But having two MLB executives make this prediction is a slightly concerning result from this poll. There wouldn't be a move that shows how disastrous things are for the Astros than a trade of Alvarez.

It's not likely at all, even if the season continues to go poorly. Alvarez isn't the kind of player a team should trade. Maybe in the offseason, but in the middle of the year? That would be a disaster.
