Royals fans are freaking out at thought of Alex Gordon signing with the Cardinals
That didn’t take long.
There were reports that free agent outfielder Jason Heyward had agreed to a contract with the Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals were trying to bring Heyward back, but they may try and get Alex Gordon instead.
The words “Alex Gordon” and “Cardinals” set off the gnashing of teeth on Twitter.
I would rather Christmas be cancelled than see Alex Gordon go to the Cardinals
