Dee Gordon has heard the rumors and seen the headlines.
But until he’s told otherwise, the Marlins’ second baseman said his sole focus is helping the team whose jersey he was still wearing Monday night win games.
“There’s not much I can do other than play baseball,” Gordon said. “I’m a Marlin until the day I’m gone.”
The Miami Herald confirmed a report by USA Today that the Marlins’ division rival Phillies, against whom they opened a three-game series Monday, were interested in trading for Gordon.
The Phillies are in the midst of a rebuilding season at 30-60 entering Monday’s game.
