Ned Yost made clear he is returning for the 2018 season, so what do you think? Next year will be Ned’s ninth season in Kansas City, with over 600 wins, two pennants, and a championship. The Royals have the third-most wins in the American League over the last five years, but the last two ended in disappointing fashion with no post-season.
Ned still has some obvious flaws. He plays Alcides Escobar everyday, despite Esky being one of the worst hitters in baseball. He hit Mike Moustakas sixth every day, even though Moose is among the league leaders in home runs.
