PEORIA, Ariz. — “You understood what I was saying, right?”
A few hours after he met with the media on his first day back in Mariners camp, Dee Gordon wanted to make sure his words weren’t misconstrued.
Gordon had referenced Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard’s do-it-all, me-against-the-world mindset and the “trash team” he plays on, with Gordon saying it’s the same for him. He then tried to clarify that comparison minutes after his first media scrum, which sort of helped … a little.
“Sometimes people don’t get what I mean when I say stuff,” he said.
