You probably know by now that something is wrong with Alex Gordon.
Anyone can look at the numbers and see that he is not the same player who made three All-Star appearances and garnered down-ballot MVP votes. He is not the player who helped the Royals to back-to-back American League pennants, not the player who homered against Mets closer Jeurys Familia in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series, not the player who earned a four-year, $72 million contract before the 2016 season, the largest in franchise history.
You can look at the batting average (.152) after 35 games.
