Welcome back, Adam Lind. The Yankees have re-signed the veteran first baseman to a new minor league contract, reports Chris Cotillo. Lind will head to Extended Spring Training to get up to speed. He’s going to need a couple dozen at-bats before being a big league option.
Lind, 34, signed a minor league deal with the Yankees on March 7th, then requested his release a week later on March 14th, after the Yankees signed Neil Walker. He went 3-for-15 (.200) during Grapefruit League play. Lind hit .303/.362/.513 (122 wRC+) with 14 homers in 301 plate appearances for the Nationals last year.
