Do you like to gamble? Well, do not be ashamed of your addiction, embrace it, as I have your next fix to keep you going for a while...
This is a long shot effort to try and keep EE out of my division...
What is the Gamble you ask. Simple... When do you think EE is going to retire?
He received this offer in RFA, Edwin Encarnacion (CLE) 7 years, $168M
AAS: $24M
// 2017 - $10M
//2018 - $12.6M
// 2019 - $20.6M
// 2020 - $24M
// 2021 - $28.8M
// 2022 - $33.6M
// 2023 - $38.4M
I can restructure that contract anyone you would want as long as any year does not go below 40% of the AAS or any year higher than 160%...
The most back loaded way it could be done is as follows, or as said can structure any way you want....
AAS: $24M
2017 - $10M
2018 - $10.M
2019 - $10.M
2020 - $24.2M
2021 - $38.6M
2022 - $38.6M
2023 - $38.6M
Now, EE is 34 and his birthday in January, so he would be 37 going into the 2020 season. He only has a 3yr deal with the Indians and the first 3yrs of his contract are 10m which is great for a slugger like EE. That is 3 yrs of solid production... 2020 is not even that bad, but where the contract takes a turn for the ridiculous is 2021 and he woud be 38 heading into that season... If he retires then you are free and clear of the rest of the contract.....
That is the gamble... Will EE retire before the contract goes north?
Now what do I ask in return? Not much, a decent prospect maybe, one that I like more than the comp pick I would get if I do not match him. I am not talking top 10 or even 30... I would be very negotiable as I understand the risk you are taking. But just giving a prospect is not much risk as prospects are full of risk anyway...
You could also say to yourself,,, I will enjoy the homers and RBI's for 3 years at a great price and worry about the contract later.. EE in the middle of that Indians lineup,,, you know that is nice...
So I understand I am trying to sell a bucket of a shit contract to a rancher, but what I am selling is the first 3-4 years and you can decide if you have the balls to take the gamble....
Do what any addict does, enjoy the ride now and just wait for the crash later
I am sure by then I will have another fix for you. If it pays off then you just got EE on a prime team for 10m a year and that is pretty damn good...
