"In addition, by adding another draft pick for 2019, we have another opportunity to add to the talent in our minor league system." "We're excited to add a proven offensive performer in Edwin Encarnacion," Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. His streak of seven consecutive seasons with at least 30 home runs leads all active players. He was third in the American League with 107 RBIs. 246 with 32 home runs for the Indians last season.

After Cleveland, Edwin played with the Mariners, Yankees and White Sox. I would have enjoyed watching him play with us for a few more years. I’ll admit to being very sad when he signed with Cleveland. I’m pretty sure most of us would say our favourite Edwin moment was the 2016 Wild Card winning home run against the Orioles. Watching his reaction fans throwing caps on the field when he hit the three home runs was great. He was fun to watch, showing more personality each season. He had his moments, including burning himself with fireworks on New Year’s Eve.īut Edwin turned his career around in 2012 and gave us five excellent seasons, putting up bWAR values of over 4 each year. Being fair to those that didn’t like him, his defense was pretty awful at third base. You would think we’d learn a little patience by now, especially with players with tons of power. We weren’t all fans of Jose Bautista’s right away, either. The fans didn’t exactly love Edwin for his first couple of years as a Jay. But, of course, Edwin did spend three weeks as an Oakland A in the winter of 2010. When we traded Scott Rolen to the Reds for Josh Roenicke, Zach Stewart and Edwin, no one would have guessed that Edwin would be the last one standing.
