The Chicago White Sox get better and better by the day. On Christmas Day they added DH Edwin Encarnacion to their ranks on a year deal worth $12 million with a player option for 2021. So the parrot will fly on the South Side of Chicago.
Encarnacion, who turns 37 on January 7th, split 2019 between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees. Despite playing in only 109 games, Encarnacion slugged 34 HRs and 86 RBIs. Encarnacion has hit 30 or more HRs for eight straight seasons.
The White Sox lineup is stacked - Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez who are joined by Yasmani Grandal, Nomar Mazara and now Encarnacion. Not to mention the additions of Dallas Keuchel and Gio Gonzalez to their starting rotation. And they still might not be done.
As it stands, the Chisox have to now be the favorite to win the AL Central in 2020. In which case, this pennant will be accompanied by a parrot.
