While Ned Yost‘s retirement press conference in front of the Kansas City Royals media mostly discussed fond memories of the last 10 seasons and what’s next, there were several statements he made that caught my attention. After the Sunday season finale, Yost will officially go down as the winningest manager in Royals history. He took over as the lead man in the early stages of the 2010 season and indicated on Tuesday that the state of the team was in way worse shape than it is now.
Yost was at the center of the team as Kansas City built a winner during the 2015 season after making an appearance in the 2014 Fall Classic.
