Nick Gordon has been traded to the Miami Marlins for reliever
Steven Okert, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Gordon, who just lost his arbitration hearing with the Twins, will earn $900,000 this upcoming season and is out of minor league options. He will need to earn a spot on Miami's roster and should have a chance to compete for a bench spot during spring training. Gordon is a career .250/.293/.392 hitter with 15 home runs, 80 RBI, and 16 stolen bases over 696 career at-bats. Okert worked a 4.45 ERA, 1.261 WHIP, and 73:24 K/BB ratio over 58 2/3 innings of relief last year with the Fish. He should work middle relief for the Twins this upcoming season.

Nick Gordon lost his salary arbitration hearing against the Twins on Saturday, according to a source, and will earn $900,000 for the 2024 season instead of the $1.25 million that he filed for. A left-tibia fracture that Gordon suffered in May of last season limited him to just 34 games in his third major-league season. In 93 plate appearances, he went 16-for-91 (.176) with two home runs, seven RBI and 13 runs scored for the Twins. The 28-year-old did begin a minor-league rehab assignment late in the year, though, so he should be ready to go for the start of the 2024 season. Gordon showed more power in 2022 and was on his way to more playing time in 2023, but he'll enter spring training this year having to battle for a utility role in Minnesota.

Nick Gordon (shin) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gordon was removed from the contest after he fouled a ball off his shin. The X-rays revealed that Gordon has suffered a fractured right shin. At the moment, it's uncertain how much time Gordon is going to miss because of this injury. Fantasy managers can expect Gordon to be placed on the injured list later this week. The 27-year-old was solid last season, but has been off to a cold start to the 2023 campaign.
