The Minnesota Twins were able to make some sort of offseason move on Thursday evening as they avoid arbitration with utility infielder Eduardo Escobar. The Twins and Escobar have reportedly agreed to a to a 1-year $4.85 million deal. With questions looming around Miguel Sano, Escobar may become an even more important cog to the 2018 Twins than initially expected to when the offseason began.
The $4.85 million deal will give Escobar a nice little pay raise from the $2.6 million that he made in 2017. It is just shy of the $4.
