The Yanks will pay him around 7 millions for the rest of the season, remove the 5 millions the rays are currently paying and he is in their pay range

EE is owed 9.25M this year + 5M (buyout for 2020) = 14M. The deal was to split, in equal parts, the remainder of the contract.

That’s where you are wrong my friend.
The $5mil next year is covered by the Rays.
The Yanks split the remainder of this year, or around $4.5 mil
For luxury tax purposes (which is what seems to matter the most) the Yanks will only be hit with $3M this year and $5M next year (assuming they decline the team option).
According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link), the two teams are “essentially splitting the money” owed to Encarnacion for the remainder of his contract. The slugger has roughly $9.25MM left on the $20MM owed to him this season, after accounting for the $5MM being covered by the Rays as per the terms of the three-team trade that brought Encarnacion to Seattle from Cleveland back in December. Encarnacion also has a $5MM buyout of a $20MM club option for the 2020 season.
According to the article EE is owed $14.25MM this year, the rays are paying $5MM which makes the Mariners responsibility of about $9.25MM.
Here is a different article
Seattle is sending the Yankees $8,397,849, leaving New York to pay $8 million of remaining $16,397,849 Encarnación is guaranteed. New York is sending 19-year-old minor league pitcher Juan Then to Seattle.
The 36-year-old Encarnación has hit 21 home runs this season and has averaged 37 homers and 109 RBIs in his last seven years. He is owed $11,397,849 of his $20 million salary this year plus a $5 million buyout of a $25 million club option for 2020.

Per this article, The Rays will pay $5MM, the Yanks $8MM and the Mariners $3.397MM, this makes more sense.
EE about to sit 80 games and be ineligible for the postseason....
other names i have posted under: none
He's been struggling a little in the stripes.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Yes he has. EE has always been a guy to get white hot then a bit cold. His white hot could be 15 homers in a month, so I’m not worried. If he doesn’t start performing soon, though, he could find himself on the bench come August when’s stanton and Voit are back
