Dodgers bet on regression in exchanging Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields

The Dodgers appeared to be done at the trade deadline after acquiring Rich Hill and Josh Reddick, as well as Jesse Chavez. However, over an hour after the deadline had past, it was revealed they also acquired pitcher Josh Fields for first baseman Yordan Alvarez.

The Dodgers today acquired right-handed reliever Josh Fields from the Astros in exchange for minor-league first baseman Yordan Alvarez.
