With the Arizona Diamondbacks sitting in first place in the National League West standings for most of the 2018 season, Mike Hazen swung a deadline deal to land Eduardo Escobar from the Minnesota Twins. Third base had been a glaring weakness for Arizona having lost Jake Lamb to injury early in the season, but Escobar’s positional flexibility would allow Torey Lovullo to play him at second base on occasion.
