Apparently the Royals and Alex Gordon are close to a ONE year extension on his contract. I don't love the sound of that but I guess their thinking must be they want to see him carry over his success last year before they ink him for big long term bucks. I didn't find a story but you can watch the report on the mlb hotstove video here.

Also Jeff Francis signed a one year deal with the Reds. He's officially out of our hair.
