We're just 10 days away from Spring Training and the market for Edwin Encarnacion has been quiet. Will he be with the Mariners on Opening Day?
-- Mason L., Portland, Ore.
General manager Jerry Dipoto would still like to flip Encarnacion to another team, but the market for designated hitters is limited, particularly one who is 36 years old and earning $20 million for 2019, with a $5 million buyout for 2020. The Astros and Rays would appear the likeliest matches, but both have the option of using a rotation of players to fill that role.
