With the trade deadline less than 48 hours away, the Milwaukee Brewers have been hard at work on the trade market to improve the team before the deadline. They made a big step towards that today, as they acquired All-Star infielder Eduardo Escobar from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The move was first reported by Jeff Passan of ESPN and later made official by the Brewers.
The addition of Escobar brings a big bat to the lineup that the Brewers need. So far in 2021, Escobar is batting .246/.300/.478 with 22 home runs and 65 RBI.
