News: The Royals and Gordon "appear close" to reaching an agreement on a one-year contract, according to the Kansas City Star.
Impact: Gordon's arbitration meeting is set for Feb. 16, but it sounds as though KC and Gordon are zeroing in on a one-year deal worth about $5 million. The two sides are also expected to begin negotiating a multi-year deal once they get this one-year contract completed.
