Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Mike Hill must have been rooting for an autocorrect mishap.
The Seattle Mariners were prepared to part with a significant prospect package and absorb a long-term contract to improve their major league roster. Great! Now, if only it didn’t mean trading away NL All-Star and Gold Glove winner Dee Gordon.
Unfortunately, Hill and Jerry Dipoto spoke specifically about Gordon prior to and during November’s MLB general managers meeting, as James Wagner of The New York Times reports. No other player in Marlins history has ever had his initials, anyway.
