The Los Angeles Angels, in need of infield depth after a recent rash of injuries, acquired veteran Eduardo Escobar from the New York Mets in exchange for two minor league starting pitchers on Friday.

Right-handers Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux, ranked 19th and 20th in the Angels' system, respectively, by MLB.com, will be sent to the Mets' system as part of the deal.
