Edwin Encarnacion may not yet know where he'll play in 2017, but at least he knows he'll be ready. Recently, he shared a video on Instagram of him getting in his cardio work:
Note the two key components of his workout. First, there's his self-motivation technique of reminding himself, "Let's go!" and "Vaya!". But second, and most importantly, is the looming presence of Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. If the self-motivation is a challenge, then letting The Kid help you out is a perfect motivational backup plan.
