Robinson Cano Won't Be Full-Time Mariners 2B After Return from PED Suspension

The Seattle Mariners are going to have a predicament on their hands when Robinson Cano returns from his 80-game suspension in August, given that Dee Gordon has been playing well at second base.

General manager Jerry Dipoto told Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com that Gordon will hold on to the second baseman role, at least in some capacity:

"As versatile and athletic as Dee is, it's not that easy to go play center field for a month-and-a-half and then say, 'Oh, by the way, you're going to go play second base in the biggest game of your career when you just haven't been out there.
