Last week I put out an article stating that the Kansas City Royals need to find a way to keep Alex Gordon around in 2020. A veteran presence can have positive effects on a rebuilding team and Gordon stated that he only wants to play for one team. Here’s the catch. His 2020 mutual option is really expensive for a player his age and given his production.
I enjoy looking at numbers, analyzing them, and doing some really nerdy things with them. It’s probably why I enjoy this sport so much. Anyways, I wandered down a wormhole of looking at Alex Gordon’s last 5 seasons.
