On Thursday/Friday, all around good guy Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star reported that the Royals are soon to be sitting down with the executives at Fox Sports to hammer out a new TV deal.
The single most important moment of the next decade for the Royals will happen in a conference room. No baseball people will be present. Dayton Moore will get an update when it’s over. Sal Perez may not even hear about it.
But it’s coming, and soon. The Royals are negotiating to replace one of the worst television contracts in major American sports.
