Was the Sherman Letter beginning of end for The K? We discuss on SportsBeat KC podcast
In a letter to fans Tuesday afternoon, Royals owner John Sherman laid out his vision for a new downtown ballpark and entertainment district, complete with a price tag — $2 billion — and a couple of simple artistic renderings.
There is plenty to determine, starting with more specifics about funding and a timetable for potential ballot questions and perhaps, eventually, site selection and construction. On today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, sports columnist Vahe Gregorian and beat writer Lynn Worthy explore those questions and more. It seems fairly clear now that the Royals are determined to move downtown.
After a break, we discuss the team’s re-signing of first baseman Ryan O’Hearn ... and did the Royals get the choices right for their player and pitcher of the year, Bobby Witt Jr. and Brady Singer?
