Eduardo Escobar: Let go by Toronto
The Blue Jays granted Eduardo Escobar his release Friday.Escobar's .122/.143/.268 slash line over 42 plate appearances during spring training didn't give him much of a chance to make the Blue Jays' roster as a non-roster invitee. The veteran infielder also struggled with the Angels and Mets last season with a .613 OPS in 100 contests, and his days as a major leaguer could be over.

Blue Jays' Eduardo Escobar: Clubs homer Wednesday
Eduardo Escobar went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.The 35-year-old switch-hitter is trying to win a spot on Toronto's bench, and Wednesday's long ball in the seventh inning off Carmen Mlodzinski can only help his case. Escobar also struck out in his other at-bat, and through 11 spring appearances he's batting just .103 (3-for-29) with a brutal 1:12 BB:K. He may be running out of time to prove he can still make a contribution on a big-league roster.

Blue Jays' Eduardo Escobar: Joining Blue Jays
Eduardo Escobar signed a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Escobar suffered through a miserable 2023 season, during which he posted a .267 wOBA and 66 wRC+ across 309 plate appearances split between the Mets and Angels. At 35 years old, he's not likely to see a major rebound in his results, but he could earn consistent at-bats at third base to begin the campaign.

The Angels declined Eduardo Escobar's $9 million team option for 2024 on Friday.After slashing just .226/.269/.344 across 309 plate appearances between the Mets and Angels, passing on Escobar's $9 million option was likely an easy decision for the Halos. Escobar will turn 35 in January and will likely have to settle for a bench role with his new organization, if he's even able to secure a major-league contract.

Angels' Eduardo Escobar: Draws seventh straight start
Eduardo Escobar will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.Escobar is without a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot in the infield, but he'll pick up his seventh consecutive start Wednesday, with six coming at third base. Even if Mike Moustakas' wrist injury doesn't cost him any further playing time, Escobar should still play regularly over the lefty-hitting Moustakas when the Los Angeles Angels face right-handed pitchers. Escobar hasn't done much to take advantage of the recent uptick in playing time, going 3-for-21 with one run and no RBI over his past six starts.

Angels' Eduardo Escobar: Moves to bench Monday
Eduardo Escobar is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.Escobar had picked up three starts in the Los Angeles Angels' last four games, but he appears poised for a downturn in playing time moving forward after Anaheim bolstered its infield Sunday with the acquisition of C.J. Cron. With Cron and Mike Moustakas expected to serve as the team's regular starters in the corner infield versus right-handed pitching, Escobar may be relegated to the short side of a platoon at third base with Moustakas.
