After agreeing to terms with Jeff Samardzija on a 5-year, $90 million deal, the Giants are believed to now be in the market for an everyday left fielder.

San Francisco is reportedly "hot for Alex Gordon," according to ESPN's Pedro Gomez.

The Royals selected Gordon with the second overall pick in the 2005 draft.

Over the past five seasons (728 games), Gordon hit .281 with 89 home runs and 362 RBI.
