Edwin Encarnacion achieved a career milestone on Tuesday, earning his 10 and 5 rights as a Major Leaguer.

Encarnacion has 10 years of service time, the last five with the Toronto Blue Jays.

"Encarnacion joins Jose Bautista, who earned his status back in early April, in achieving the meaningful milestone, which grants players full pension benefits and a measure of control over their fate with the right to veto any trade that involves them," writes Shi Davidi.

He is in the final season of the $27-million, three-year extension he signed in July in 2012, a deal that includes a $10 million club option for 2016.
