The Angels never really presented Freese with a formal offer in free agency, either. Instead, they traded for converted third baseman Yunel Escobar, sending promising reliever Trevor Gott to the Nationals in exchange. Freese's career OPS (.761) is higher than Escobar's (.735), but Escobar is coming off one of his best offensive seasons and will only cost $7 million in 2016. That's key for an Angels payroll that is pretty much maxed out.
