Newest Clevelander Encarnacion dons LeBron jersey
Edwin Encarnacion appears to have wasted no time adapting to what will be his new home for the next few years.
Fresh off agreeing to a three-year deal with the Cleveland Indians reportedly worth $60 million, Encarnacion posted a photo on Instagram with friend and former Toronto Blue Jays teammate Jose Reyes while sporting a LeBron James Cavaliers jersey.
Encarnacion had been vocal about hoping to re-sign with the Toronto Blue Jays this winter after evolving into a fan favorite over his eight years with the franchise. The two sides were unable to reach an agreement, however, and Encarnacion landed a deal with the Indians before Christmas.
"I am very happy to reach this agreement with the Indians," Encarnacion said. "I hope to help this team win a World Series."
