Yep. All the while losing an average of 100+ games/season.

And we are all so thankful for his ownership.

Replace God with rich people and this basically covers it...

Why does this need to be decided seven years before the current deal is over, especially with so many details being, at best, unpublished?

Royals lost 100 games and Herm Edwards was the coach for the Chiefs the year the initial tax passed

Now yall getting tight with the purse strings?

It needs to be decided before they have another embarrassing season and the 2025 property taxes shoot up again.

Economic conditions were a little better back then...

I think we, as a county, need to hold out for a better deal where all the numbers and guarantees are on the table and understood, then decide.

The existing tax is in effect until '31 so the hard times today aren't ending with a no vote

Do people actually do that? I don't...

Very good article, LOVE it. That said this quote concerns me:

"Sherman said during a news conference at Kauffman Stadium. “It’s really, really hard to draft and develop generational talent in this business, and it’s even harder to keep them in the same uniform, and that’s what this is really all about.”"

For the Royals it has been, I'm not sure it's as bad for other teams that are willing to pay to keep their talent and buy other team's talent. So it's wonderful that we kept Witt, but how many teams fear us buying their known/demonstrated talent to surround Witt with?

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question, perhaps the better question is how much cash has he told the team they have to shop and retain talent with?

And I'm actually a bit surprised at how emotional the topic is. Yikes..

Tough times indeed

I know when I've been in the P&L or close to it, day or night, all I could think about was man this must be what Fallujah was like...

Yeah, I'm not sure which is worse for the sport... the lack of a salary cap or teams not wanting to spend anything.

I think Beltran said he was staying in KC for 23 million/year (or whatever it was) and Glass told his agent "make him stay for 22"... and maybe that one specific story never even happened, but the point being cheap ass billionaire owners suck.

How else are 40 year old dudes who are too fat to even walk going to play out their failed dreams?
