The Washington Nationals have found some much-needed infield help in an interesting fashion, striking a deal to acquire shortstop Alcides Escobar from the Kansas City Royals.
#Nationals are indeed getting Alcides Escobar from the Royals. They're sending cash. Escobar was in KC for part of their rebuild and won the 2015 World Series. Named ALCS MVP in '15.
