Speed & Dee-fense: Gordon dealt to Mariners
(MLB.com Seattle Mariners)

Looking to improve their team speed and baserunning ability, the Mariners made a bold move in that direction on Thursday by acquiring two-time National League All-Star Dee Gordon from the Marlins and another $1 million in international slot money in exchange for top pitching prospect Nick Neidert and two other Minor Leaguers. Seattle plans to play Gordon, a National League Gold Glove Award-winning second baseman, in center field.
