The recent arrivals of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio give the Blue Jays the makings of what could one day become an elite offense. But there is something to be said for a veteran presence to serve as both a resource and run-producer, and who better to fill that role for a Toronto team with some financial flexibility (and first baseman Justin Smoak in free agency) than old pal Edwin Encarnación?
Both sides wanted to renew the relationship at the end of 2016, but Encarnación wrongly turned down an $80 million offer early in the offseason and wound up in Cleveland. The parrot’s passport is still valid, so this reunion would work.
Got this fron the hot stove. Thoughts?
