MLB: Nationals Make Trade With Athletics, Clippard For Escobar


Midnight Man

Infielder Yunel Escobar is heading to the Nationals and All-Star reliever Tyler Clippard is going to the Athletics, thanks to the ninth deal between those clubs in a little more than four years. The swap gives Washington a player who could solve its search for a starting second baseman. Escobar could play shortstop for the Nationals if they wind up trading away, or fail to agree to a new contract with Ian Desmond, who can become a free agent after next season. The A's just picked up Escobar from Tampa Bay, along with Ben Zobrist, in a trade that sent catcher John Jaso and two minor leaguers to the Rays. Clippard took to Twitter in the wake of the deal being announced.
