Marlins, Dee Gordon Agree to 5-year, $50 Million Extension

[Swifty]

I think this is a great deal. Following the Johnson and Chen moves, it looks like the franchise has its shit together, thus I expect Jose traded by the end of the week.

The guy is a top five second baseman in all of baseball. This is a fantastic deal.

Per MLBTR:

Heyman now reports the full breakdown of Gordon’s extension (Twitter link). Gordon will receive a $1.5MM signing bonus and yearly salaries of $3MM (2016), $7.5MM (2017), $10.5MM (2018), $13MM (2019) and $13.5MM (2020).

If he's just a 2-WAR player through the life of the contract, he'll be paid below market value each season. The bar is pretty low here.

[Chewford]

The bar is pretty low here.

Dee Gordon doesn't do what Dee Gordon does for Dee Gordon. Dee Gordon does what Dee Gordon does because Dee Gordon is Dee Gordon.

Did his dad use that song as his entrance music when he was a closer?

If not, that's a huge missed opportunity.

from wikipedia:

The song was played at Philadelphia Phillies home games when Phillies reliever Tom Gordon, whose nickname is "Flash Gordon", entered the game.
