It isn’t over until the fat lady sings. Alex Gordon may be in the twilight of his career with the KC Royals, but that doesn’t mean he can’t go out with a bang.
After two horrible seasons in a row (2016 and 2017) and a ho-hum 2018 campaign, the seven-time Gold Glove winner put together his best campaign in years last season. In 150 games, Gordon hit .266 and posted an OPS+ of 96. His defense wasn’t quite what we’ve come to expect but nevertheless, he was still above average in left field.
It was a pleasant surprise for KC Royals fans.
