Blue Jays released INF Eduardo Escobar.

Escobar was granted his release to find an opportunity elsewhere shortly after being informed that he wasn’t going to make Toronto’s season-opening roster. The 35-year-old veteran signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays last month.

Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run homer off the bench against the Pirates on Wednesday.

Escobar came into the day 2-for-27 with 11 strikeouts, so he really needed to do something. The veteran still seems like a long shot for a spot on the Blue Jays’ roster as a reserve infielder.

Blue Jays signed 3B Eduardo Escobar to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Escobar bolsters Toronto’s infield depth at the hot corner behind utility specialist Isaiah Kiner-Falefa and prospect Davis Schneider. The 35-year-old veteran doesn’t appear to have much left in the tank at this juncture after compiling an underwhelming .613 OPS with six homers in 309 plate appearances last year between the Mets and Angels. He’ll compete for a spot this spring on the Blue Jays’ season-opening roster.

The Blue Jays and Eduardo Escobar are close to a deal, according to FanSided’s Robert Murray.

We’re guessing this is a minor league deal, but perhaps it’ll be a guaranteed pact. The 35-year-old Escobar hit just .226/.269/.344 in 309 PA for the Mets and Angels last season, though he was above average offensively in the two previous seasons. He’d battle for a piece of the job at third base in Toronto.

Angels declined their $9 million club option on INF Eduardo Escobar for 2024.

He’ll get a $500,000 buyout and become a free agent. Escobar hit .226/.269/.344 in 309 PA for the Mets and Angels last season. He’s turning 35 this winter, so it’s probably going to be tough for him to land a major league deal as a free agent.

Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer against the A’s on Sunday.

Escobar wasn’t one of the veterans waived by the Angels last week, but that’s only because the team knew there was no way he’d be picked up. The homer tonight was his second in 39 games since arriving from the Mets. He’s hitting .239/.283/.378 in 248 plate appearances for the year.

Anthony Rendon (shin) is absent from the Angels’ lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.

The positive news here is that Rendon is still listed on the Angels’ lineup card, and appears unlikely to require a trip to the injured list. X-rays came back negative after he was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Padres after fouling a ball off his right shin. It’ll be Eduardo Escobar at the hot corner in his absence.
