The Marlins have officially announced that Dee Gordon is on his way out of Miami and heading to Seattle.
It has been widely reported that the Marlins main objective is to slash payroll; some reports say to $90 Million or even $75 million. This is the first trade towards that objective.
The Mariners are taking on all $38M of Gordon’s contact, per a source.
