KC Royals: Vets are rightfully tired of losing atmosphere

This is no secret, but the 2018 and 2019 seasons were not kind to the KC Royals. Losing 104 games two years ago and then improving by just one win the following campaign, this marked the first time the team had lost 100-plus games in consecutive seasons since 2005 and 2006. In Ned Yost‘s last ride as a manager, he weathered the storm and passed the torch to Mike Matheny a few months ago.

The Royals aren’t without talent. Whether it’s young guns like Adalberto Mondesi and Brad Keller, or veteran leaders like Alex Gordon and Whit Merrifield, some pieces are there.
