On Tuesday we learned that Kansas City Royals owner David Glass is in discussions to sell the team to a group led by Kansas City’s own, John Sherman. Currently serving the role as the vice-chairman of the Cleveland Indians, Sherman would have to divest himself from the Indians prior to purchasing the Royals.
Not long after the news broke, former Kansas City Mayor Sly James tweeted out a personal endorsement of Sherman in that the Royals would be getting “a hell of a guy”. Alec Lewis of The Athletic ($) recently published a Q&A article with the former Mayor.
