The Kansas City Royals have just one game remaining in the 2019 season and new owner John Sherman will need to get to work right away on fixing the roster. First, he’ll have to hire a new manager as Ned Yost announced his retirement last week after spending 10 seasons with the club. Among the roster considerations that need to be accounted for is left-fielder Alex Gordon.
Gordon will be 36 years old when the 2020 season starts and he has a steep $20 million mutual option. However, he’s been with the Royals organization since he was drafted 2nd overall in the 2005 MLB Draft and has stated that he is 60/40 on coming back next year.
