Kansas City bar-b-que best in the world? Come on…
Texas.
Hos and Boras should note Encarnacion passing on Toronto’s first offer which turned out to be the most $ he was offered.

I believe you mean “commensurate” not “commiserate”.

It would be a bit of a hard sale to explain away his defensive numbers, but it could be done almost reasonably. You could come up with a theory to explain away his enormous ground ball gravitational pull, or even his lack of power, or maybe his extra outs on the base paths. But no rational explanation for ALL of them!

Picking up a stray first baseman who is only one game above replacement level is something you manage in your spare time during spring training, NOT a long-term contract with a Boras client for the price of a modest-sized country.
