Things not looking great with Gordon according to this link:

But the bright side is that the Royals are optimistic about their chances to retain Ben Zobrist's services.

Losing Gordon would suck, but bringing in a Zobrist/Parra combo at not much more than Gordon would cost by himself (Zobrist and Parra can probably be had for $23-25 million total AAV, Gordon likely to be in the 18-20 range) would be a solid consolation prize.

Parra isn't flashy, but he has been basically a league-average bat over the course of his career and has been a standout defender until this year. If kept to a corner OF spot, like LF, I thiink he'd do well in KC. Milwaukee kept trying to use him in CF, which is a stretch.

I'm also intrigued by the South Korean OFs who are about to be posted, Ah-Seop Son and Hyun-Soo Kim. Both are all-around hitters who walk more than they K and play good D in LF. Neither has the profile of Jung-Ho Kang or Byung-Ho Park, who posted for $5 million (4 years, $11 million, for a total commitment of $16 million over 4 years with a sweetheart team option for year 5) and $12.5 million (TBD), respectively.
