White Sox Sign Edwin Encarnación
to One-Year, $12 Million Deal.
The Chicago White Sox have reportedly signed
Edwin Encarnación on for $11 million, with a
possible bonus worth another $1 million.
The three-time All Star will
join a Chicago lineup that includes
Tim Anderson and Jose Abreu.
Last season, Encarnación split his time between
the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees.
The 36-year-old only played in 109 games,
but cracked an impressive 34 home runs.
Encarnación's $20 million
option for 2021 was previously
rejected by the Yankees in October.
The team instead offered
him a $5 million buyout,
which effectively made
him a free agent. .
His power will be welcomed by
the White Sox, who have failed to qualify
for the playoffs in the last 11 seasons.
The White Sox have also added
Dallas Keuchel, Gio Gonzalez
and Yasmani Grandal
