Many parrots outlive their caretakers, so it should come as no surprise that Edwin Encarnación and his silent passenger are moving on from the Mariners before the season’s end. The fact that EE even began the season in Seattle was surprising. He departs a fan favorite, hitting more homers (21) in his ~half a season than Justin Smoak did in any season in Seattle. Encarnación departs for the Evil Empire, bringing back a 19-year-old RHP who should feel right at home again.
Edwin Encarnación has been traded from the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.
