After a year and a half dawning the blue and orange, Eduardo Escobar’s time as a New York Met has come to an end.
On Friday evening, the Mets announced that they had traded Escobar and cash considerations to the Los Angeles Angels for RHPs Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post announced that the cash considerations would equate to ‘all but the minimum’ of Escobar’s salary, which is $9.5 million for 2023.

After a successful 2021 season that saw Escobar make his first career all-star game, the Venezuela native signed a two-year 20 million dollar contract to become the Mets starting third baseman.
