Report: Marlins' Gordon attracting 'a ton' of interest

Dee Gordon is on a number of teams' wish lists after a season capped off with a batting title, stolen base title, Silver Slugger, and Gold Glove.

The Miami Marlins second baseman is drawing "a ton" of interest, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.

Cafardo reports that Miami has listened, but it would take a huge deal involving front-line, controllable pitching to nab the 27-year-old All-Star.

The Marlins are also reportedly interested in a long-term extension for the speedster, who said in early-November he enjoys playing in Miami, so a deal seems unlikely.

"I love it here - the ballpark, the coaches, the staff," he said.

Gordon, who isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2019 season, made $2.5 million last season after being traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He hit .333/.359/.418 with four home runs, 46 RBIs, and 58 stolen bases in 2015.
