The Toronto Blue Jays and Edwin Encarnacion have broken off talks on a contract extension.

Encarnacion says the two sides "do not talk anymore about" a possible deal.

The slugger can become a free agent after the season and the two sides extended talks into the season after an agreement couldn't be reached in the spring. The Blue Jays offered Encarnacion a two-year deal with options, but he is likely seeking a four-year deal.
