Several media outlets are reporting that Alex Gordon is re-signing with the Kansas City Royals after testing the free agent market.
The Royals have not confirmed the report, but an official announcement could come as early as Wednesday.
ESPN’s Buster Olney confirmed what was first reported from MLB.com Jeffrey Flannagan.
Olney says the deal is worth $72 million over four years, making it the richest in franchise history. The previous high was $55 million over five years for Gil Meche and Mike Sweeney.
