When you think about the players who came up in the Royals minor-league system and eventually won two American League pennants and the 2015 World Series, certain names spring to mind.
Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Salvador Perez and Jarrod Dyson are just a few of the players who were key parts of the Royals success.
But for those who made it to the major leagues, there were many more who never got out of the minor leagues. Others were traded before the Royals won the World Series. Many of those players who didn’t get a ring are still friends with Hosmer, Dyson and the rest.
