Very impressed with this trade. Exactly what the Jays needed.
Just for reference, among qualified leaders last season, Escobar was ranked 5th in OPS for all qualified (min 500 PAs) MLB SSs, behind Bartlet, Jeter, Tulo and Hanley Ramirez.
That isn't bad company to be in. He has a pretty good on base % as well, which is very rare for a short stop. Especially one who fields the position so well.
