This season hasn’t been pretty for our boys in blue. Sitting dead last in the AL Central and tied for the worst record in baseball with Baltimore, the overall feeling conveys the impression that a change is on its way. Ned Yost, the Eureka, California native, has been the manager for eight emotional seasons and is only the second manager in Kansas City Royals history to cement a World Series title since Dick Howser in 1985.
Many around the league scoffed at the idea of Ned leading the team to their first playoff appearance in 29 years back in 2014 and the World Series in 2015 due to his questionable small ball tactics, but he silenced all of the doubters.
