Adam Lind Fantasy Stats

The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday afternoon that they have released veteran first basemanAdam Lind. Lind had not appeared in the majors in 2018 and put up mediocre numbers in Triple-A. Lind had some great seasons in his career and may wind up with another organization, but his days of fantasy relevancy seem to be over.

Boston Red Sox president Dave Dombrowski confirmed that the organization has signed free-agent first baseman Adam Lind to a minor league contract. Lind had opted out of his deal with the New York Yankees last week. Lind has had a productive minor league season so far, as he is carrying a .302 average to go along with three homers and 14 RBI through 24 games split between High-A and Triple-A. This move does not seem to have much in terms of fantasy relevance, as the Red Sox already have one of the deepest lineups in the majors. Lind will be hard-pressed to find a roster spot but could be utilized if injury trouble ever arises in the Red Sox ranks.

The New York Yankees have re-signed first baseman Adam Lind to a minor league deal. New York had released Lind in the middle of March but have now brought him back, possibly due to the struggles of Tyler Austin and Neil Walker. Lind has yet to debut in 2018 but is coming off a 2017 season in which he hit .303 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI. It's unclear if/when Lind will be called up, but there's a chance he could be a difference maker until Greg Bird returns. Don't pick him up just yet, but Lind is certainly a name to watch.

After signing a minor league contract with the New York Yankees in an attempt to win the backup first baseman job, Adam Lind has been released with two weeks left in Spring Training. The 34-year-old took part in five games with the Yanks this spring, hitting .200 with just three hits in 15 plate appearances. He was with the Washington Nationals last year, hitting .303 in 116 games. Despite his release, Lind should be given a chance by another team, especially for a backup first baseman job. With the Yankees, the arrival of Neil Walker and strong play from Tyler Austin complicated his path to the majors, resulting in this decision by the club.

Finally signed with the New York Yankees to a minor league deal, veteran first basemanAdam Lind remains dumbfounded about the lack of attention from teams. The 34-year-old is coming off a season with the Washington Nationals that saw him hit .303 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI in 116 games. The veteran is a lifetime .272 hitter with 200 home runs in 12 professional seasons. At Yankees camp in Tampa, Lind stated he wouldve had no problem being at home with no job should he have hit .220 last year. Regardless, he now has an opportunity to make the New York club as a backup first baseman and outfielder. Those positions are already locked in with starters for the Yankees.

Free-agent first baseman Adam Lind signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees, according to Robert Murray of FanRag Sports. This deal will include an invite to spring training and gives the Yankees depth at first base and designated hitter. Lind, 34, has experience in the American League East with the Blue Jays (nine seasons) and had an .875 OPS in 301 plate appearances with the Nationals last season.

The New York Mets are open to adding free-agent first basemen Logan Morrison or Adam Lind as they look to give young first baseman Dominic Smith some competition in 2018. It's been a slow-developing free-agent market, so Morrison and Lind could fall into the team's lap on the cheap. However, Morrison may be too expensive after he slugged a career-high 38 home runs with Tampa last season. Either way, Morrison and Lind may have to split time at first base with Smith, which would hurt their fantasy value.

The New York Mets will consider Washington Nationals free-agent first baseman Adam Lind as they look around for first basemen. The 34-year-old Lind had a very productive 2017 as a part-timer in Washington in 2017, hitting a robust .303 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI in 267 at-bats. With New York not sold on prospect Dominic Smith at first base, they are considering all options. Lind would likely be in line for more regular playing time in the Big Apple, where he'd be a low profile power candidate at the hot corner in deep mixed and single-universe leagues.

The Nationals declined Adam Lind's $5M 2018 option, making him a free agent. The aging slugger surprised a lot of people with his 2017 numbers. He hit .303 with an .875 OPS in 116 games, mostly playing first base and left field. But big bulky sluggers like him are a dime a dozen and only players in deep leagues should watch where he lands.

Ryan Zimmerman is sitting out Friday's game versus the Padres and Adam Lind will play first base. Lind had mostly been playing in left field, but Howie Kendrick will be there instead. Zimmerman is setting all kinds of club records this year (HR, RBI) and broke out of his August funk on the ninth when he hit two home runs in one game. It's just a routine day off, his first since July 30th, so expect him back on Saturday. Lind is 2-for-5 with one home run vs. Padres starter Luis Perdomo. He's worth a stream despite the game being played in Petco.
