Gordon, who was selected second overall by the Royals in the 2005 draft, agreed Wednesday to a four-year, $72-million contract with his longtime employer, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. The deal is pending a physical.
It seemed unlikely, frankly, that the Royals would be able to re-sign Gordon, either, as the club reportedly had "no chance" to bring him back less than two weeks ago. Gordon, however, refuted that report last week, and shortly thereafter landed a long-term deal with the annual average value - around $20 million - he was reportedly seeking.
