Dayton Moore’s interesting 15-year run as general manager of the KC Royals, one marked by both high praise and heavy criticism, has ended.
With his second season as principal owner of the Royals concluding in less than three weeks, and his club just a few hours away from beginning its next-to-last homestand of 2021, John Sherman announced this afternoon two major front office changes impacting Moore’s duties.
Moore is out as General Manager, but is becoming President of Baseball Operations; JJ Picollo, an Assistant GM since 2008, is the new GM.
