The Pressly trade has only fueled speculation that the Astros are positioning their payroll for a last-ditch effort to retain their fan-favorite star.
Yordan Alvarez is recovered from the right knee injury that limited him late last season and expects to be at full capacity when the Houston Astros start spring training next month, the slugger said Thursday.
