The Kansas City Royals will be looking for a new manager ahead of the 2023 season.
Kansas City general manager and executive vice president J.J. Picollo announced the team will not bring back manager Mike Matheny or pitching coach Cal Eldred after finishing in last place in the American League Central at 65-97.
The Royals hired Matheny ahead of the 2020 season after Ned Yost, who led them to the 2015 World Series crown, retired. The team had not enjoyed a winning season since that championship, so expectations were not exactly sky-high at the start of the new manager's tenure.
