MLB Trade Rumors
11:21am CDT
The Royals turned back the clock Tuesday, announcing that they’ve agreed to terms with veteran shortstop
Alcides Escobar on a minor league deal. Escobar, the Royals’ everyday shortstop for their 2014-15 World Series teams, will head to Triple-A Omaha to begin the season.
Now 34 years old, Escobar was one of the key pieces Kansas City received in the 2010 trade that sent
Zack Greinke to Milwaukee. Coming over alongside
Jeremy Jeffress, Escobar quickly established himself as a foundational piece for the Royals. He was never a huge contributor at the plate, but at his best he hit for a respectable average while racking up 30-plus steals per year and flashing Gold Glove-caliber leather.
Jeremy Jeffress is Still Looking for a Job, is Hurt and Confused Why No Teams Are Interested
