When a team stinks it up for as long as the Royals have, the only thing the fan base can hold onto is the past. So what do the Royals do? Turn around and crush that, too.
I am sure Frank White has his own part in this, but I don't believe it was something that couldn't be worked out through more open communication on both sides. The thing is, I, as an average fan, freaking LOVE Frank White. I don't have any love for the Royals front office. Every single one of them could be fired tomorrow and I wouldn't care. Wouldn't be excited since I would just expect another iteration of what we have watched for the last 20 years, but I don't feel we would lose much. (I know, I know, we are always just 2-3 years away from not being totally shitty.)
Frank White and Ryan Lefebre were a great match in the booth, making the best out of the shitty product on the field day after day. Royals could have at the very least continued status quo there. And more importantly should have been working to build bridges with Frank.
