The Edwin Encarnacion sweepstakes might come down to the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers. Both teams are still in talks with the free agent, ESPN's Marly Rivera reports.
Sources tell me that Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians both still in talks with Edwin Encarnación
David Schoenfield's take: Both teams need a first baseman or DH, but can the Indians really fit Encarnacion into the payroll? They're already at an estimated $103 million, taking them just beyond where they sat in 2016. But with a low first-year salary, he could be viewed as a replacement for Carlos Santana, who has one year left on his contract.
