Adam Lind signed a one-year deal with the Nationals to provide a power bat off the bench, along with some insurance for veterans around the diamond.
You're only as strong as your weakest link.
The Washington Nationals improved a potential weak spot on Monday by signing first baseman Adam Lind to a one-year deal worth just $1 million, but with a mutual option for 2018 and a $500,000 buyout.
Lind saw 430 plate appearances with the Seattle Mariners last season and slashed .239/.286/.431 with a .304 wOBA and 92 wRC+, all of which were below league average except for his slugging percentage.
