Dayton Moore kind of sort of ran the Royals organization into the ground and was surprised when ownership finally moved on. He went to the Texas Rangers in an advisory role to former Royal and 2015 World Champion Chris Young. The Royals now face those Rangers, for the first time in 2023, thereby making this the Dayton Moore Series.
