Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Escobar struggled early last season for the Mets with a .695 OPS through 40 games, but he was even worse after being traded to the Angels with a .219/.259/.303 slash line. The 35-year-old had a career-worst 25.3 percent strikeout rate and also provided poor defense across the infield. Escobar signed on with the Blue Jays via a minor-league deal in February, and the departure of Matt Chapman leaves the club without an established third baseman. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is likely to fill the role but is likely better served as a utility player, making it a solid landing spot for Escobar. He'll likely need a strong showing in camp in order to even crack the Opening Day roster. Read Past Outlooks
Let go by Toronto
The Blue Jays released Escobar on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Escobar's .122/.143/.268 slash line over 42 plate appearances during spring training didn't give him much of a chance to make the Blue Jays' roster as a non-roster invitee. The veteran infielder also struggled with the Angels and Mets last season with a .613 OPS in 100 contests, and his days as a major leaguer could be over.

Escobar signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Mets in November 2021, and he delivered a down year during his first season in New York. It was a tale of two halves for the veteran infielder, as he posted a .676 OPS prior to the All-Star break and an .825 OPS during the second half. In total he finished 2022 with a .240/.295/.430 slash line, 20 home runs and 69 RBI, with it being the fifth straight full season in which he's hit at least 20 long balls. His 23.8 percent strikeout rate was the worst of his career, though he also had the highest hard-hit rate (37.4 percent) of his career. Escobar hasn't shown a notable decline entering his age-34 season and should be a solid, if unexciting, option at third base for fantasy managers in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Close to deal with Blue Jays
Escobar is close to signing with the Blue Jays, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Escobar was traded from the Mets to the Angels in the middle of the 2023 season, and he suffered through one of his worst seasons in the majors by posting just a .613 OPS across 309 plate appearances. Despite those struggles, his fit with the Blue Jays would make sense, as they are projected to rely on a combination of Cavan Biggio, currently dealing with a shoulder injury, Davis Schneider and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at second and third base to begin the 2024 campaign.
