The Chicago White Sox reportedly are acting fast in their pursuit of Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Eduardo Escobar, who was “on his way” from escaping a last-place team and joining the Sox, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.
A tweet from Nightngale seemed to confirm a trade was imminent and created a stir Saturday night, and false “sightings” of Escobar in Chicago were posted even without the real Escobar in any of the photos.
That’s the how crazy it’s gotten on the South Side with a first-place team that finally matters, a crowded ballpark and a glaring hole at second base since the season-ending injury to Nick Madrigal.
