The KC Royals gave Matt Harvey a chance in 2020, but they shouldn’t bring him back.
If veteran baseball writer Jeffrey Flanagan is correct, the KC Royals may be in the process of making an utterly inexplicable decision destined to end in failure.
Flanagan is mlb.com’s supremely capable Kansas City beat writer. Readers can bank on what he says; his record of accuracy is why Royals fans should worry about what he reported Wednesday.
Kansas City, according to Flanagan, is interested in re-signing Matt Harvey. Yes, that Matt Harvey, the pitcher who hasn’t had a winning season since 2015 when he almost pitched the Mets past Kansas City in Game 5 of the 2015 World Series before the Royals came from behind and won the contest and with it the Series.
