MAILBAG: New York Mets trade 3B Escobar to Los Angeles Angels for two pitching prospects

It's the Subtext Mailbag! Eduardo Escobar was traded from the New York Mets to the Los Angeles Angels; let's talk about RHPs Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux, who are now with the Mets. While we're in there, let's answer a question about CF Nelson Rada and RHP Jorge Marcheco.

Next, it's some Tampa Bay Rays chatter, with SS Oselvis Basabe's chances of getting out of AAA and debuting in Tampa, followed by SS Carson Williams being the only prospect of Tampa's that doesn't play many positions.

Finally, we're looking at the Cincinnati Reds, with 3B Sal Stewart having great contact quality but struggling with launch angle, while looking at IFA catcher Alfredo Duno using the context of Ethan Salas of the San Diego Padres.
