Last year, Escobar hit .254 with 28 homers and 90 runs batted in with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers and was named to the 2021 National League All-Star team. Escobar will play third base primarily, but is known for his versatility, and can play second baseman, shortstop as well the outfield. This is a solid move and Esbobar will provide power and defense as well as the ability to play multiple positions.
