It’s been a roller coaster of a Spring Training for the Dodgers and Yadier Alvarez. Once a top prospect in the organization, Alvarez had to take a leave from the team for disciplinary reasons. He made an unexpected return this spring, but soreness sidelined him before his first appearance. And now we have an idea of what to expect from him this year.
Yadier Alvarez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Dodgers late last week. In order to keep him in the organization, Alvarez had to clear waivers and avoid being claimed by another team.
