Marlins Acquire Nick Gordon from Twins in Exchange for Steven Okert

The trade aims to bolster the Marlins' lineup flexibility and depth as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The Miami Marlins acquired utility player Nick Gordon from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for left-handed relief pitcher Steven Okert.
Nick Gordon, who has a versatile skill set, is expected to add flexibility to the Marlins' lineup after a challenging 2023 season due to a right shin injury.
Marlins fans express mixed feelings about the trade, with some questioning the decision given other options on the free-agent market.
The Marlins also announced the hiring of Sara Goodrum as the team's director of special projects, continuing a series of new additions to the front office.
Gordon's acquisition is part of the Marlins' efforts to build on their postseason appearance last year, aiming for a stronger performance in the upcoming season.
