![]() ![]() ![]() The Chicago White Sox were reportedly interested but were not willing to go more than three years on a deal. Gordon seemingly did not lack for suitors on the free agent market. Only a couple weeks ago the team was reportedly told by Gordon’s camp that it had “no chance” of re-signing him as things stood.Ĭircumstances apparently changed, and the Royals’ willingness to hand out the richest contract in the organization’s history probably had something to do with it. Retaining Gordon is a nice win for the reigning World Series champions, who did not at all seem like a lock to bring the star outfielder back earlier in the offseason. Jon Heyman confirms that the contract is for four years and a total of $72 million. The deal was first reported by Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com. The proof is in the results.The Kansas City Royals have reached an agreement to re-sign left fielder Alex Gordon. Perfect Game has more talented players in attendance than any other organization. MLB scouts and college coaches make the most important decisions, and luckily, they follow what we do very closely - not only in person, but online as well. Perfect Game identifies players, provides an opinion, and then lets Major League scouts and college coaches form their own. Perfect Game simply provides talented players a means to be identified and evaluated closely while competing with and against the best worldwide. Perfect Game does not take any credit for the numerous outstanding players selected in the draft or the many more who go on to play college baseball. One can only imagine how many Perfect Game alumni will ultimately reach their dream of playing Major League Baseball down the road. However, these figures do not account for the many Latin American free agents who participate in Perfect Game showcases and tournaments and then sign with Major League clubs. In the past ten years, 9,073 Perfect Game participants have been chosen in the MLB First-Year Player Draft. Many of these alumni had participated in multiple Perfect Game tournaments, showcases and/or leagues. Of the 1,530 players selected, 1,323 had attended a Perfect Game event, and 294 of the first 331 picks were Perfect Game alumni. ![]() Perfect Game set a new record for the tenth consecutive year following the 2011 MLB draft.
