Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports hears from sources that the Indians are "pulling out all the stops" to try to sign free agent slugger Edwin Encarnacion.
Encarnacion is a perfect fit for the Indians on the surface, so it's not a surprise that they continue to have interest, but questions remain about whether they'll make a big enough bid in order to get a deal done. It's out of character for them to pay for big-name free agents, but they are in their prime window of opportunity. Heyman hears that the Indians have also made offers to some of the other free agent first baseman/DH-types, including Mike Napoli. As for Encarnacion, his agent, Paul Kinzer, told Heyman that his client has received three- and four-year offers from at least five different teams.
