Edwin Encarnacion turns 42 today. 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. But, of course, Edwin did spend three weeks as an Oakland A in the winter of 2010. The fans didn’t exactly love Edwin for his first couple of years as a Jay. Fans tend to be impatient. We weren’t all fans of Jose Bautista right away, either.
Most of us would say our favourite Edwin moment was the 2016 Wild Card winning home run against the Orioles. He hit four playoff homers for us. I’ll admit to being very sad when he signed with Cleveland. I would have enjoyed watching him play with us for a few more years. After Cleveland, Edwin played with the Mariners, Yankees and White Sox. After leaving the Jays, Edwin hit .241/.344/.489 with 114 home runs. It was fun to see him in the Jays dugout last season, I hope we see that more.
