Ned Yost announces his retirement
Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty ImagesKansas City Royals manager Ned Yost announced today that he is retiring as manager at the end of the season. Except for 2009, Yost has spent at least part of every season since 2003 as a manager at the major league level, logging almost six years as manager of the Brewers from 2003-08, and then taking over as Royals manager in early 2010 and leading that club through the end of this year.
While Yost has had a long career as a manager, getting to two World Series and winning one, Texas Rangers fans of a certain vintage will remember him more for being part of one of the most infamous trades in Rangers history.
