Selected with the fifth pick in the 2014 draft, Gordon's path was derailed by a series of injuries and health issues.

Previously loaded with talented infielders and utility men, Gordon is the second such player to be traded by the Twins in two weeks. The Twins also dealt Jorge Polanco to the Seattle Mariners on Jan. 29 in a deal that netted four players and $8 million in cash to help pay down the salary of pitcher Anthony DeSclafani.>

I will be sad to see Gordon go, but it didn’t look like a good fit with the others available on the roster. He was odd man out.

    We got yet another reliever for him. I feel like Fal-vine are almost trying to fill in the holes in the starting rotation with bullpen games. Not highly likely to be true, but if it somehow is, that’s… quite a unique strategy.
