Holy shit this McBroom cat seems like a real liability on the base path. He had one alright year where he stole 10 bases out of 14 attempts. If you take out that year he has 10 SB and 16 CS.

Well, it looks like Community America Ballpark will be vacant soon. So I guess the R's can play there if needed.

Duncan? PB? Anyone else? Can you guys stop arguing about our new owners finances and answer my ****ing question?

It happens occasionally, typically to fill a roster slot late in the year.

Govorn has been a pleasant surprise. Small school guy with a great approach, which is sometimes your best bet for diamond in the rough types.

It is the most important moment of the Royals’ last 20 years, with the obvious exception of 2015.

Many words have been written about Sherman in recent days, and I do hope you read my column in the immediate wake of the news and the one with insight from more than a dozen friends and associates.

The most important impact of his purchase: the Royals will stay in Kansas City.

Everything else is irrelevant by comparison, so we’re giving that fact two paragraphs to itself.

But, we have some time here, so here is some more: the Royals now have an owner who lives here.

Materially, I don’t know exactly how that might change anything. My sense is that the Royals will build better connections in town, both with sponsors and fans. Illig talked a little about that in the column, and I tend to agree, but of course we’ll have to see.

But if you spent any time over the years complaining about absentee owners, you have to consider this a positive.

I also think it makes a downtown stadium more likely. Vockrodt wrote a good piece about that here. I wrote this part in the column, but the Royals have privately been describing talks of a downtown stadium as “very exhilarating,” and a belief that various levels of government will support it.

There has been internal momentum toward a downtown stadium even before Sherman looked into the purchase. With him in charge all the pieces are in place.

Far too many moving pieces and years exist for anyone to say with any certainty whether the Royals will move downtown or remain across the street from that Taco Bell. But I do feel confident saying the chances of a move just went up.

We and I assume other outlets are trying to find out who Sherman’s partners are. If Terry Dunn is among them, that would be more circumstantial evidence of motivated downtown exploration.

Now, a disclaimer: Sherman and Dunn are friends and have worked together on various projects, and if a downtown stadium doesn’t happen there will be renovations to Kauffman when the leases are up in 2031. So, either way, a construction company would be motivated to stay close.

But, just something to keep an eye on.

Other than the team staying in Kansas City, and perhaps moving downtown, the thing fans are probably most interested in is whether the spending patterns will change.

And I have no idea.

Sherman has been in the weeds of transactions the last few years with his minority stake in the Indians, who haven’t been an enormous spender, but they have generally been above the Royals. The Indians have higher attendance and revenues, which factors into this somewhere.

He has said in the past that to be an owner you have to look at it like a fan, and think of the team as a community asset.

Does that mean he’ll be willing to dip into his own pockets more than David Glass did?

Again, I have no idea. It’s possible, but he’s also a businessman. We tend to think of Ewing Kauffman as a saint around here, and for damn good reason, but as the owner of the Royals he operated it like a business until the last few years.

There are some nerdy things I’m interested in here. I want to know if Sherman will push analytics more, and if he’ll want to copy some of the stuff the Indians have done with technology. I want to know what he prioritizes, both in building a baseball team and in life.

I want to know more about his motivations for doing this, beyond the obvious, and what it is about baseball that he loves so much. I want to know his favorite player, his favorite baseball moment, his favorite song and what he likes to do in his spare time.

But, yeah, mostly I want to know what the spending patterns might be like.

Lol. Leases are up in 13 years. That’s the earliest a DT oark could happen. Yes they are better than suburban parking lots. No, you aren’t getting one here.

Who wrote that article? I do not believe the Indians have spent more than the Royals the last few years. They obviously have the last couple years because the Royals went into a rebuild, but even in 2016/17 when both teams were contending the Royals outspent them considerably, by about $50 million dollars.

I think the idea of having a local person with a ton of KC pride as owner, and most of the rest of it all makes sense though. Those just seem like fan talking points that get regurgitated. Glass doesn't spend any money, the Royals don't value analytics at all, etc.

Just needs 35 more HR's in the remaining 23 games to break Barry Bonds' all time record.

Here's the best comparison to KC that I can be assed to look into. If Milwaukee can't see a clear positive fiscal impact on a downtown stadium then there's no ****ing way KC can see one.
I may be in the minority but I go all over when I'm in kc and uber everywhere at night. It's part of a night out

The point is is that the price of an uber isn't the factor that you base whether or not you attend a game at Kauffman.

And you and I both are in the minority because we can afford it. Lots of dipshits in KC still drive wasted as ****.
