They gave him a 3 year contract for 9 million per year. Which is what they are rumored to be offering for these two. Encarnacion was in the middle of a silver slugger calibre season when he signed the extension. Not to mention 20 home runs and 787 ops seasons are not bad for production which is what he produced the two seasons prior. I would be more inclined to go for Jimenez myself, but there is still risk as he had two bad seasons prior to last year. Plus I have my doubts that he is the age he claims, but thats me.
