Edwin Encarnacion and the Jays wrap up the regular season at Fenway this weekend. Fourteen home runs swatted in 47 games at this bandbox ball yard, 53 hits, 33 runs, 41 RBIs. And by here, Encarnacion meant not the physical here-and-now of Boston but Toronto, 700 kilometres away. declaring he would not pursue negotiations in-season and the Jays front office apparently entirely content with that. It seems entirely likely they’ll let Encarnacion walk — Jose Bautista, too — and rebuild a franchise in their own image, around Josh Donaldson.
