When John Sherman is handed the keys to the Kansas City Royals, his first move will be to hire a manager to replace Ned Yost, who had been with the team since 2010. Yost, 64, decided to call it quits once he knew that the worst, in terms of the rebuild, was over. Certainly, finding a new manager will be one in a series of moves needed to repair the franchise this offseason.
Sherman is expected to be announced as the new owner on November 21 at the Major League Baseball owners’ meeting in Arlington, Texas.
