DETROIT
The Royals are set to visit the White House on Thursday, and at least one member of the 2015 Royals will not be in attendance.
Well, actually, many former players will not be making the trip, but in an interview with Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, former Royals outfielder Jonny Gomes expressed disappointment that he did not receive an invitation to the ceremony.
“I’ve been sent down. I’ve been nontendered, whatever, but this is probably the worst news of my professional baseball career,” Gomes said.
The news itself was hardly a surprise.
