I was surprised at the report the Nats declined the 5 mill option. I always assumed Lind would. Maybe that's a mistake in reporting? Does that mean that Lind was going to exercise the option had the Nats also exercised on their end? I'd be curious to get clarity.
I figured at, what, 34...Lind would seek a final multi-year deal as a DH in the AL. At least get 2 years if not 3. Cash in on a great 2017. Maybe if we did decline Rizzo just thinks he can find another Lind reclamation project for the 1 mill he gave Lind in 2016?
If the team declines it’s an extra half a mil.
