Breaking up is hard to do. It shouldn’t have to be, but when you’ve got memories that include breaking a 30-year run without a World Series, it’s only right to grow attached. Fortunately, I’m here to help KC Royals fans navigate this potential disaster.
Break up the KC Royals.
(Wait. That came out wrong.)
Set the current KC Royals roster on fire, push it down a hill in a trash can, then break it into 100,000 little pieces with a sledgehammer and dynamite.
I’m fairly new to this particular beat, but as a longtime observer of another franchise treading water (via my old haunt, Tomahawk Take), I learned to recognize that sometimes, the best move is the hardest.
