One of the first big trades of the offseason happened Thursday as the Marlins traded All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon and international slot money to the Mariners for minor-leaguers Robert Dugger, Nick Neidert, and Christopher Torres. The Phillies‘ division mate definitely looks like they are going to cut every cost, tear the whole team down, then try to build it back up again.
While this deal affects Philadelphia in terms of the Marlins getting worse in the short-term, it could also impact how they market their own second baseman, Cesar Hernandez, in a trade.
