Is it time for the KC Royals to part ways with Wade Davis? That’s the question that should be facing the club after manager Mike Matheny trusted Davis Sunday to bring the Royals home with a series-winning victory in Chicago.
And it’s a decision the club should make soon, perhaps even before it resumes play Tuesday.
Matheny gave the ball and a one-run lead to Davis, once but no longer one of the game’s premier closers, to start the bottom of the ninth against the White Sox. Josh Staumont, Matheny’s primary ninth inning choice for the past three weeks, presumably wasn’t available after pitching Friday and Saturday.
