With the trade deadline approaching (less than 24 hours away now), the Brewers made their first big move by adding Eduardo Escobar to the team. The Brewers sent back two prospects (OF Cooper Hummel and INF Alberto Ciprian) in the trade, setting them up with a power bat to finish up this season. There’s no doubt that Escobar is the offensive threat that the Brewers need to solidify this lineup. However, finding playing time for everyone with him in the lineup will be the tricky part.
The one immediate concern with Escobar is that there’s not a clear spot for him right now.
