The two leaders met on Tuesday, same as they do before every home game, to talk about theminutiae and problems and potential solutions of what by now is a fading Royals season. These are business meetings, between Ned Yost and Dayton Moore, but this is the seventh year they have worked together as manager and GM, so the conversations can drift.
“I don’t know,” Moore told his friend. “I don’t know if I can watch.”
They were talking about baseball’s playoffs, which will begin next week, and for the first time in three years not include the Royals.
