Adam Lind Released By Yankees
7 years agoAfter 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.
