Eleven years ago today.
The Blue Jays DFAed Edwin Encarnacion.
On June 21, 2010, Edwin was hitting .200/.298/.467. Just a month earlier, he had hit 3 home runs in a game against the Diamondbacks. The team had talked about sending him down to the minors, but they wanted a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Richmond, who was coming off the 60-day DL.
Could you imagine we could have lost Edwin because we wanted Richmond on the roster? And that’s not...
