Miami Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon is currently working his way back from an 80-game PED suspension, and coming back into an interesting situation in Miami. Gordon lead the National League in batting average, hits and steals in 2015, but Derek Dietrich has played a strong second base and Martin Prado has done an effective job at third base in his absence.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says that Prado, who is a free-agent after the season, hasn't discussed a new contract with the Marlins, but that he believes the Marlins will try to retain the 32-year-old. If Prado is re-signed, Jackson suggests that either Gordon or Dietrich "could be dealt for pitching this winter."
If the Marlins decided to move Gordon, the Phillies could be an interesting potential fit.
The Phillies expect J.P. Crawford to be their long-term starting shortstop, though no one player is penciled in at second-base. Once Crawford assumes the shortstop position on a full-time basis, both Freddy Galvis and Cesar Hernandez will get chances at second base, but neither of them feels like more than a utility piece on the next contending Phillies team.
Beyond Gordon fitting with the Phillies on paper, Jon Heyman noted late last season that the Phillies had previously tried to land Gordon twice. That, of course, was prior to general manager Matt Klentak taking over, but much of the Phillies' current front-office is similar to the one that surrounded Klentak's predecessor, Ruben Amaro.
The Phillies also possess the organizational pitching depth to potentially land someone like Gordon. Pitchers like Jerad Eickhoff, Ben Lively and Zach Eflin are among those in the Phillies' organization that could headline a trade, and one of Galvis or Hernandez could also be of interest going back to Miami.
The Marlins haven't re-signed Prado yet, and it is entirely possible that they would be more interested in trading Dietrich if they were able to. But if they made Gordon, 28, available, the Phillies could match up in a trade, and also could afford to take on the remaining four years and $45 million that Gordon has on his deal after this season.
