The Royals’ 51st season is nearly complete, and it may be the last one with David Glass as owner.

The Star confirmed Glass is in discussions to sell the franchise to a group led by Cleveland Indians vice chairman John Sherman, who lives in Kansas City.

Glass will celebrate his 84th birthday next week, and he has been the team’s owner since 2000.

The franchise has enjoyed the highest of highs (2015 World Series title) and lowest of lows (106-loss season in 2005).
