Possible Landing Spots For Edwin Encarnacion

Edwin Encarnacion is the best player right now still in the free agency market. At the start of the offseason, Encarnacion was given a qualifying offer by his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays. He turned it down and since then, he hasn't gotten a huge offer that has been up for consideration. Here are some possible places Edwin Encarnacion could go and where he went at the end

1. St. Louis Cardinals

With the recent signing of Dexter Fowler, it seems like the Cardinals are all in. To compete with the Cubs in the NL Central, you need a powerful offensive lineup. Encarnacion can be the guy that helps them make a playoff run in 2017.

2. Houston Astros

The Astros are in need for a 1st baseman. Yulieski Gurriel isn't going to get the job done at 1st and bringing in Encarnacion can fill that roll at 1st and make a big impact for them. The Astros are going to have to pay big money for him but it will be well worth it.

3. Seattle Mariners

They have the cash to go out and get a big-time free agent. Seattle hasn't made the postseason in a long time and the time is now for Seattle to make a big splash this offseason. Seattle is missing a big piece and Encarnacion is the guy they need.

4. Texas Rangers

Encarnacion could possibly land in the Lon Star State. The Rangers are World Series contenders year after year and always fall up short. The window is closing on the Rangers success as many of their players are in last years of their contracts. Encarnacion will make this team better and possibly Win a World Series Championship with him.

Update:

Edwin Encarnacion ended up going to the Cleveland Indians and he will make a big impact there.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
