There's no such thing as loyalty in professional sports anymore, and for good reason. He won his World Series, now he has every right to go and get paid. Billy Butler was another "face of the franchise" guy who was absolutely justified in leaving for what he was offered.
It's been fun Gordo. Give that money to Zobrist and seek for another solid outfield bat in FA. |

about 80% that he's gone now?
You know some rich(er) club somewhere will overpay ... probably a team in our own division to **** with the Royal's team chemistry too. A double-dip.

Gordon was coming up through the minors when I was actually getting seriously interested in baseball. He was the first real "prospect" other than Grienke that I was excited about seeing play.
I remember being pissed that they moved Teahen to LF so Alex could play 3rd. I thought it was ludicrous. ![]() I remember his absolute STRUGGLE at the big league level, and his inability to hit any sort of breaking pitch. To see how much he's grown - it's something special. I couldn't be happier for Alex. I hope he's back as a Royal, but I'll also understand if he takes his talents elsewhere. |

Had someone e-mail me asking if I could believe Gordon "rejected the Royals offer" and asked if I was pissed he is leaving the Royals.
People don't know WTF they are talking about. |

It's no different than early this season when the game threads had a lot of people posting I had never seen post in them before. One example is that you would see lots of comments to bring in Herrera in the fifth or sixth inning.

And if he wants more than 4 years, even a lifelong Royals fan like myself would be fine with him leaving and we SHOULD NOT resign him for more than 4 years. It makes very little sense in any world.

I'll be pretty down if Gordo goes somewhere else. Hopefully, you can work something out. I think it's just seeing him play in KC for so long.
