Report: Lind generating 'lots of activity' on trade market
Adam Lind could be the next Milwaukee Brewers player to pack his bags and leave town.
The first baseman is generating "lots of activity" on the trade market, according to a source close to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
Lind's bat is understandably appealing to clubs looking for power. The 32-year-old hit .277/.360/.460 with 20 homers and 87 RBIs for the lowly Brewers last year, and Rosenthal believes he'd be a great fit for American League teams looking for a designated hitter.
Lind, who had his $8-million option for 2016 picked up by Milwaukee earlier this month, played nine seasons for the Toronto Blue Jays before being traded to the Brewers for right-hander Marco Estrada last November. He captured a Silver Slugger Award in 2009, when he broke out with a 35-homer, 114-RBI campaign.
Milwaukee has already traded shortstop Jonathan Villar to the Houston Astros and second baseman Javier Betancourt to the Detroit Tigers this fall.
