My Take

Edwin Escobar is the kind of pitcher whose career reads like a passport full of stamps — born in Argentina, came up through the Venezuelan pipeline, got his MLB shot with the Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks, then crossed the Pacific to pitch in Japan for the Nippon-Ham Fighters and the DeNA BayStars, and eventually landed in the Mexican League with the Leones de Yucatán. He never quite stuck as an MLB rotation piece, but honestly, the fact that he carved out a pro career across three continents and four leagues says a lot about his competitiveness and adaptability. A lot of guys with his profile disappear after a cup of coffee in the bigs — Escobar kept finding a way to keep pitching, and I respect the grind.
