Royals outfielder Alex Gordon discusses the thrill of winning his first World Series and celebrating with the people of Kansas CityThe Royals will still have exclusive rights to negotiate with Gordon until Friday at 11 p.m. CT, at which time he will be free to sign with any club.
Gordon, the longest-tenured Royal, expressed earlier this season an interest in playing out his entire career with Kansas City. He is a three-time All-Star and a four-time Gold Glove Award winner.
