Breaking - Press Release - Mets Trade Eduardo Escobar to Angels

 

METS ACQUIRE TWO PITCHERS FROM ANGELS

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 23, 2023 – The New York Mets today announced that the club has acquired minor league RHPs Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux from the Angels in exchange for INF EduardoEscobar and cash considerations.

 

Crow, 22, ranked as the Angels No. 17 prospect, according to Baseball America. The right-hander has made four starts for Double-A Rocket City in 2023, going 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA (5 ER/24.0 IP), six walks and 31 strikeouts. He was selected by the Angels in the 28th round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, but did not make his pro debut until 2021 due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor league season. In three seasons in the Angels organization, he has gone 15-6 with a 4.33 ERA (103 ER/214.1 IP).

 

Marceaux, 23, was the Angels No. 20-ranked prospect, per Baseball America. A third-round pick out of LSU in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, he has made 32 starts over the last three seasons in the Los Angeles-AL organization, going 7-13 with a 3.99 ERA (68 ER/153.1 IP), 35 walks and 124 strikeouts. He is 3-6 with a 4.88 ERA (32 ER/59.0 IP) in 12 starts for Double-A Rocket City this season.

Lindor on Escobar to the Angels: "One of the best teammates I’ve ever had. He’s an amazing player. I just found out literally in the dugout. We’re going to miss him a lot. I don’t know where he went. But wherever he goes hopefully he gets the opportunity to help that team win.”

Eduardo Escobar hit for the cycle on this day last year. The pure joy from both him and the dugout once he tripled will always be awesome. #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/f4OhszTSwO
