The Mariners have also been heavily rumored to be pushing Mike Leake on contending teams. One name that we haven’t heard a lot about, but does fit the mold of other veterans, is second baseman Dee Gordon.
Gordon, the 31-year-old second baseman, is set to make $13.8 million in 2020 and is still due about $6.6 million this year, making him an expensive luxury for the rebuilding Mariners. Gordon also has a $14 million team option for 2021, but with just a $1 million buyout, it is unlikely Gordon will see that option picked up.
