The Jays got a steal in this trade. Escobar has been a top 5-8 SS since he broke into the league and the Jays got him for a free agent signing and 2 average prospects. He might be struggling this season, but half a season of poor play doesn't come close to discounting his 3 excellent MLB seasons thus far.
