Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that "there’s a feeling that Alex Gordon could be had in a deal."
Cafardo cautions, though, that "it would take an overwhelming package, one that includes a front-line starting pitcher." Gordon signed a four-year, $37.5 million contract extension with the Royals just before the season, so it would be a surprise if they moved him. They'd also be selling low, as Gordon is batting just .226/.322/.356 this season following a breakout year in 2011. We suspect that he'll stay put.
