Washington Nationals to trade Yunel Escobar to Los Angeles Angels

The Washington Nationals have agreed to trade third baseman Yunel Escobar to the Los Angeles Angels for pitcher Trevor Gott and another minor leaguer, a source told ESPN's Jim Bowden.

A nine-year veteran, Escobar spent just one season in Washington and batted .314 with nine home runs and 56 RBIs.

Though primarily a third baseman, Escobar can also play elsewhere in the infield, giving the Angels some flexibility if they are able to re-sign third baseman David Freese.
