Royals Review has learned it is a deal worth around four years, $70 million.

That's not a crazy amount of money.

Most of the Royals starts become FAs in 2018 - they need to be all-in for 2016 and 2017.
Also, KC home attendance went from 1.95m in 2014 to 2.7m (10th overall) in 2015 - give em every reason to come back in 2016.
So while Gordon's numbers had warning signs in 2015, I like it a heck of a lot better than standing pat.

officially 4/72

a good deal for both parties

I thought Dexter Fowler would have been a good fit for them if they let Gordon walk.

Seems like an awesome deal for the Royals. I'm surprised Gordon's market didn't heat up more than it did.

I think it was more of a 'first blink' scenario. Waiting for Davis, Upton.....
