The Royals have a new manager, and his name is Matt Quatraro. Many Royals fans have never heard of Quatraro, or at least had never heard of him until the Royals began looking for a manager. He is not a big name like Joe Maddon, Ron Washington, or Bruce Bochy, who came out of retirement to manage the Rangers. But the Royals weren’t interested in making a splashy hire, they were interested in making the right hire.
The names fans have heard of are names that have accomplished things in the past. Joe Maddon has a ring. Ron Washington won two pennants.
