Alcides Escobar becomes a free agent, plus your off-season calendar

The 2018 Major League season is officially over with the Red Sox winning yet ANOTHER championship (give it a rest, Boston). The end of the season means that all players eligible for Major League free agency are officially free agents. You can see a list of notable free agents here. Among the players eligible include Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar, who hit .231/.279/.313 last season. He will turn 32 and has been one of the worst hitters in baseball over the last four seasons, but he hit .297/.345/.392 after the All-Star break and teams may like his versatility and his glove.
