SportsBeat KC: Talking futures of Bruce Weber, Salvador Perez and Isaiah Simmons
It’s a busy SportsBeat KC episode. KC Star columnist Sam Mellinger joins host Blair Kerkhoff to look ahead of Saturday’s Sunflower Showdown from a Kansas State perspective. The WIldcats are in last place a year after winning the Big 12. What does that mean for K-State coach Bruce Weber?
Mellinger is fresh off a trip to spring training, where he scored an exclusive interview with Royals catcher Salvador Perez. The perennial Gold Glover had some surprising things to say about his future in Kansas City.
Also, you’ll hear from Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons. His stock is soaring as an NFL prospect and he played high school football at Olathe North. Simmons was lightly recruited by area schools ... how did that happen? Star reporter Sam McDowell joins in as we look for answers.
