If you can honestly say you saw the Yankees trading for Mariners 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, then please email me the winning Mega Millions numbers.
On Saturday night, the Yanks sent 19-year-old right-handed pitching prospect Juan Then, back to Seattle for Encarnacion and his prodigious home run hitting ability.
I say “back,” because Then was dealt to the Yankees from M’s in November 2017 for pitcher Nick Rumbelow.
As broken down by Ken Rosenthal, Encarnacion is owed $15 million this season ($20M team option for 2020 or a $5M buyout). With the Rays still on the hook for $2.
