Some things in life should be universally accepted. For example, the sky is blue. How about another one? Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is worthy of a Rawlings Gold Glove.
Days after having his $23 million mutual option for 2020 declined by the Royals, Gordon was awarded his seventh Gold Glove. This puts him in some elite company, ranking with the likes of Larry Walker, Devon White and Carl Yastrzemski. Along with seeing his production at the plate creep up to near league average standards (96 OPS+), the three-time All-Star continued to play some of the best defense in baseball.
