The 33-year-old Lind clubbed 20 home runs and had 58 RBIs in 126 games with the Seattle Mariners in 2016. It marked the sixth time in his career that Lind hit at least 20 homers.

The 28-year-old Maness underwent an operation on his right elbow in August, avoiding Tommy John surgery for an alternative procedure in which his ulnar collateral ligament was repaired rather than replaced. His recovery time was listed as three to six months rather than at least a year for Tommy John surgery. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
