Former Jays slugger Encarnacion makes his return to Rogers Centre with Indians
TORONTO — It was like old times for slugger Edwin Encarnacion on Monday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
He shot the breeze with Blue Jays manager John Gibbons by the batting cage before the game, playfully slung his arm around good friend Jose Bautista, and signed autographs for fans.
The only difference was this time he was wearing a different shade of blue as a member of the Cleveland Indians.
“Eddie did a lot for this town and this franchise, period,” Gibbons said. “And he’s one of the good guys too.”
