PEORIA, Ariz. -- Dee Gordon checked out some of the new gloves that representatives from Wilson were showing Friday morning in the Mariners' clubhouse, but Seattle's new center fielder had already done his offseason shopping for his new leather.
Upon learning that he was being transitioned to the outfield after being acquired from the Marlins in early December, Gordon's first stop upon returning home to Miami was at a Dick's Sporting Goods to find an outfield glove so he could get used to the larger size and deeper pocket.

Gordon was a two-time National League All-Star second baseman -- with the Dodgers in 2014 and Marlins in '15 -- but had never played outfield in a professional game until the Mariners' Cactus League opener against the Padres.
