This is something I suggested during the season and in the beginning of the offseason. I like Lind as a primary DH in a platoon, however, dumping his $7M contract would be some solid salary relief for a player that in my opinion we can live without. I would move Melky into a primary DH role and slide Gose into the OF, giving us a substantial defensive upgrade. Melky would also be utilized as the 4th OF when not in the lineup as the DH. We lose some offence, but we improve the defence.
I would then look to allocate the money saved from Lind towards signing Infant for 2B. Even if Infante comes in at 3/30, that's still only an increase of 3M per season and we now have a substantially better defensive club and probably didn't lose much offensively overall. This leaves much of the available payroll to then be used on signing a FA SP.
Team gets better and we didn't touch the farm.
