Mets trade top prospects for Eduardo Escobar, recall Danny Mendick.
The New York Mets traded Eduardo Escobar to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for two right-handed minor league pitchers, Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux. Crow, who has a previous connection to Mets GM Billy Eppler, had success in his limited appearances with the Angels AA affiliate, while Marceaux has had an up-and-down minor league career. The trade makes sense for the Mets, who have prioritized developing their prospects, and provides them with much-needed starting pitching depth in the minors.
