Eduardo Escobar

[Jopal78]

Maybe the Brewers could pick up Eduardo Escobar. No doubt a rough year at the plate this season, but an .809 OPS against LHP and has hit lefties better than righties his entire career. He also has been a decent hitter at AmFam with a .772 OPS there.
 

The Angels would probably be happy to move him for no other reason than to get out from under the remaining 3-4 million left in his contract.

They got him as cover for Anthony Rendon from the Mets i think

The Mets are covering Escobar's salary the rest of the season (minus the Major League minimum and the $500K buyout of next season's option).  That'll likely be the case for any other moves the Mets make at the deadline, too.  They'll either offer to cover any salary of traded players, or absorb bad contracts, in order to up the quality of what they get in return.
