Alex Gordon Becomes Free Agent
5 years agoThe Kansas City Royals will decline outfielder Alex Gordon's $23 million option and buy him out for $4 million. He'll become a free agent, but the Royals are hoping to bring him back at a rate that makes sense. The 35-year-old just isn't worth the $23 million these days. He wasn't as bad as expected in 2019, but he also wasn't anything special, hitting .266/.345/.396 with 13 home runs, 76 RBI and five stolen bases in 150 games. There's not much left in Gordon's game and he's not guaranteed to play every day moving forward, with KC or elsewhere. He'll be an unattractive single-universe commodity in 2020.
