Encarnacion is 34.  A 3-year deal is still a gamble from Cle's side.  The Js offer of 4 years was even worse, and luckily for Your Js, he turned them down.

No sense criticizing Js management till we see what type of team takes the field in 2017 and how they play.

Your Js are an older team and they must get younger, the farm system has to be rebuilt.  Till then, it's plug the holes best you can.

Getting a draft pick for Encarnacion, it's a start.
