The beauty of baseball's hot-stove season, and in particular MLB's Winter Meetings, is that a deal can come together quickly and with very little warning. Of course, that can also lead to a little awkwardness as players honor team-related commitments that on some occasions overlap baseball business. Such was the case for Dee Gordon on Wednesday. In the morning hours, he was representing the team at Union Elementary as part of its partnership with the L.A. Fund for Public Education's School Fuel program. By late afternoon, he was officially traded to the Miami Marlins , along with Dan Haren, in exchange for four minor leaguers, including Miami's top prospect Andrew Heaney.
