Escobar is not turning down the QO. He can take that, and then get a "meh" contract in a year, and make way more money combined. In the mean time, the Twins get nothing other than one more year of a guy that should be a utility player on a good team.....I can't see how that's a good investment of limited budgetary dollars. But, I guess I could be wrong, and he's a legit MLB starter on a good team.
