SilverBullet Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Per Ken Rosenthal Gordon to the Mariners for RHP Nick Neidert (Seattle's #2 prospect), IF Christopher Torres (#7 prospect), and RHP Robert Dugger. Seattle picks up the entirety of the $38 million remaining on Gordon's contract. Marlins also send $1 million in international pool money. Mariners wanted to get better on the basepaths and plan to play Gordon in center field not second base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 They better have gotten something good. He’s had two out of three great years and relatively affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 They better have gotten something good. He’s had two out of three great years and relatively affordable. Not “great” really. He’s a solid player. Probably didn’t get a great return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So how fucking cheap is this ownership going? Dee's contract wasn't that large in the grand scheme especially considering there's no way Ozuna stays. So basically Yelich and Realmuto and a bunch of nobodies???

fish20 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 this is a really good trade. Cut dee's salary, and get 2 interesting prospects in Torres and Neidart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Didn't think I'd react this way but I feel like I'm not caring so much about Gordon leaving (though I'll miss him) or about what the return is... I'm feeling more like excited that the steps to the rebuild are finally happening. I know this is gonna be bumpy but it kinda feels like we just started the engines and it's like "allright let's do this!" Also super happy to read they took the entire contract.

SongInTheAir Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Mariners are paying all of Dee's salary so that's completely off the books. Is Niedert our new #1 prospect? (Because that's so sad if he is...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish20 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I wouldn't go that far. Neidert is a mid rotation potential guy, Torres is a 19 year old who at the very least adds talent to the position players in the system, and we cut all the salary from a player in Dee who i didnt think was all that spectacular anyway.
