Soon-to-be former owner of the Kansas City Royals, Davis Glass, expedited the sale of this team to a hand-picked John Sherman, who is currently serving as the vice-chairman of the Cleveland Indians. Glass has agreed to sell the team to Sherman for $1 billion, but Sherman will need to divest himself from the 30 percent ownership he currently has with the Indians.
It seems like this sale happened awfully fast, with reports coming out on Tuesday that Glass was in discussions to sell the team to having agreed to a deal on Friday. Obviously, there were a lot of discussions going on behind the scenes before this came to light, but needless to say, Sherman’s first moves will be under the watchful eyes of the Royals fanbase.
