Alcides Escobar is currently on a contract that pays him $2.75 million a year. That type of money, while miniscule when put next to the likes of Max Scherzer and Alex Rodriguez, can buy a fella lots of cool toys.

That, my friends, appears to be a golden Land Rover glistening in the warm Arizona sun.

A tip of the cap on the purchase, Mr. Escobar. You lament 100 percent of the purchases you don’t make.
