While you contemplate which Milwaukee Brewer shirt to buy for the upcoming season -- and you should pick up the Brewers as your secondary rooting interest given that they, unlike almost every other team, are trying to improve themselves -- I pass along some news of another club just sort of spinning its wheels.
Robert Murray of FanRag says that a deal is done between the Royals and Alcides Escobar, pending a physical.
This is the same Escobar who has hit .256/.286/.343 over the last three seasons in Kansas City. He can still pick it and is as durable as all get-out, but one wonders why they wouldn’t just give the shortstop job to Raul Mondesi Jr., who hit .305/.340/.539 at Triple-A last year and look to the future.
What do I know? I think teams should sign and play good players.
