Agent: Encarnacion 'loves Boston'

http://www.thescore.com/news/1149584

Free agency is officially open, and one of the biggest names available is Edwi
n Encarnacion, who's reportedly seeking a five-year, $125-million deal.

After another strong season with Toronto, Encarnacion's agent, Paul Kinzler, e
xpects the slugger to generate interest from "10 or 11" teams, one of which co
uld be the Boston Red Sox.

In April,David Ortiz?- who retired last month after 14 years in Boston - call
ed the 33-year-old Encarnacion a "perfect replacement" for next season - a sce
nario that's apparently quite alluring.

"It definitely intrigued him," Kinzer said at the general managers' meeting, a
ccording to Bob Bradford of WEEI.com. "He and David are close, and that meant
a lot to him when David did that."

According to Kinzler, Encarnacion also adores the city and enjoys hitting at F
enway Park.

"He loves Boston," the agent said. "You look at his highlights from last year,
 I think five of his home runs were hit there. He loves to hit there. The atmo
sphere … That's always one of his favorite road games."

Encarnacion has indeed enjoyed great success at Fenway during his career.

Although multiple signs point to a potential relationship, it may not be that
simple - at least according to Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave D
ombrowski, who isn't interested in breaking the bank to replace Ortiz.

"I'm not sure if we're going to do it internally with a lot of the people we h
ave or go outside the organization," Dombrowski told reporters, according to E
SPN's Jerry Crasnick. "We know we can never replace (Ortiz's) presence. But we
 have a lot of guys who can play different positions. We have young guys comin
g that we like a great deal, so we'll just kind of have to wait to see what ha
ppens there.

"There are a lot of different factors. One is affordability, but not only that
. How long do you want to tie somebody up for that position when we have a lot
 of young players coming? That's a very important part of it."

Encarnacion finished 2016 with 42 home runs, and tied Ortiz for the American L
eague lead in RBIs with 127.
