Edwin Encarnacion signs with Cleveland

Edwin Encarnacion has reportedly agreed to a three year deal with Cleveland that guarantees him $65 million U.S. The deal includes a club option for 2020 that, if exercised, would make it worth $80 million over four years.

Encarnacion reportedly turned down a four-year offer from Toronto worth at least $80 million before hitting the open market.

And while Toronto and the Jays fans are sad to lose him…

Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is thankful for the early Christmas gift.
