Adam Lind – 1B, Milwaukee Brewers
The free agent market is particularly thin at second base, with Justin Morneau presenting the top option beyond Chris Davis in this year’s class. That leaves the trade market for Lind wide open, and his incredibly reasonable $8-million salary should also appeal to teams trying to make a budget-friendly move.
Because the Brewers in rebuild mode, the list of potential landing spots for Lind is a dozen teams long. The Orioles, Mariners, Red Sox, Astros, Indians and Marlins would all seem like fits, though Lind can also man corner outfield which expands his market to roughly half the teams in baseball.
