I guess late is better than never, but pretty much every baseball fan with three functioning brain cells had this move figured out weeks ago. Yes, there’s a problem with who will replace Young in the KC Royals rotation. But, pretty much any replacement-level starter with a pulse would be better than Chris Young right about now.
Just how many home runs did Young have to give up before Ned recognized the problem? The answer, of course, is a mere 26 in 60.0 innings.
Ned Yost and the Kansas City Royals front office have achieved great things with patience.
