True, but he is no longer going to be with the team he wanted to be with in the first place where he could have moved up to maybe surpass some of the club records. Also, his fan support will no longer be as big as it was - having an entire country behind you.
As sad as I am to know he won't be with the BlueJays, situations like these are sometimes opportunities in disguise. Even though I cannot envision what opportunities that may be with this lineup, I know that in baseball and life too, things just have a way of working out.
Of one thing I am certain, Encarnacion not being on the team won't affect the quality of my life. He, like many other individuals, sometimes takes a gamble which didn't quite work out the way he thought it would. It is sad but it is a fact of life.
The only thing I cannot wrap my head around is why do people jeopardize what they like (good job, good city, lots of people who adore you etc., for a few dollars more. It's true the "few dollars more" is in the millions but seriously, how much wealth do you really need to accumulate?
