When Miami Marlins fans talk about trades that helped to break up the organization last off-season, many times they fail to discuss the Dee Gordon trade with the Seattle Mariners.

Neidert, the Marlins reigning Minor-League Pitcher of the Year, he’s working on making a lasting impression that he hopes will lead to a trip to the Major-League level in the near future.
