SportsBeat KC: Staying tuned for Royals outfielder Alex Gordon’s new contract

Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is closing in on a one-year deal with the club. The seven-time Gold Glove winner and three-time All-Star is a rarity in today’s game, playing his entire career with one MLB team.

Also, the Royals re-signed Jorge Soler to a one-year deal. But what does that mean for the home run champion after 2020? And we remember the late Royals owner David Glass with beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnist Vahe Gregorian in today’s episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
