And maybe Lind did have to go
Edwin is also a liability at 1B and so finding an ideal platoon situation with a third guy is not easy. If you found a better overall player you don't need Lind at all. If you get a 4th OF type who's good and RH hitting then you still always have a poor defender at 1B.
I'm still not happy with the trade but I kind of understand why AA wanted to deal him. Because obviously Edwin is staying.
Ultimately it depends on what he does the rest of the off season, his this will be judged.
