The quiet end of the Edwin Encarnacion Era

The Edwin Encarnacion Era has come to an abrupt end. Generally expected to be in Cleveland for another year, the Tribe turned Edwin and Yandy Diaz into Jake Bauers and two more years of Carlos Santana on Thursday. There are many complex feelings around this trade. Most all of them will be covered somewhere on this site. But I want to talk about Edwin, and how really, it just never felt right, did it?

It’s not a knock on Edwin, or at least it doesn’t mean to be. He was a fine player for the Indians.
