MLB.com recently sat down with Moore on a back field at Surprise Stadium in Arizona to discuss what he learned from John Schuerholz, the loss of Yordano Ventura and what it meant to instill a winning culture in Kansas City.
MLB.com: You graduated from George Mason University and spent four years there as assistant baseball coach. Did you think coaching could be your future?
Dayton Moore: I wanted to coach. I wanted to be a college coach. Once my college baseball career was over, I signed with an Independent team and was released out of there.
