On Monday afternoon, Royals Vice President of Baseball Operations Dayton Moore held an informal press conference at his annual C You In The Major Leagues camp at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park. Moore started the nonprofit in response to the deadly shooting at the J in 2014 to support the community, whose vision is to “inspire children to become leaders in their communities.”
Moore’s passion for community outreach and leadership is genuine, and he has leveraged his public position to better the city in which he lives. That much is unquestioned. But Moore’s very public job is to build great baseball teams and to compete for championships, and his performance in that field has very much been questioned of late.
