The Chicago White Sox are in discussions with the Arizona Diamondbacks about trading for infielder Eduardo Escobar, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
As Nightengale noted, the White Sox are looking to replace second baseman Nick Madrigal, who is out for the season with a torn right hamstring.
Escobar, 32, is hitting .240 (.743 OPS) with 15 home runs and 45 RBI for a Diamondbacks team that will assuredly undergo a fire sale this season. Arizona's 20-53 mark is the worst in the majors, and the team has also lost 17 straight games.
