I hear those threats, but I always wonder where they would move that another owner of a team in that viewing area would really allow them to do so. I know it has happened with Washington/Baltimore, but it has been denied before.

The royals have one top 100 prospect (Gavin Cross). Cleveland has seven even though they pick behind us every year.

all young guys and nobody in the pipeline...

Austin TX
Nashville TN
Las Vegas
Oklahoma City

We literally had 4 top 100 prospects graduate to the majors and like 10 or more of our top 20 prospects made debuts last year, so no shit the cupboard is bare.

Las Vegas is the only real threat. Those other cities would be off limits because of other teams.

I don't buy the moving thing at all. That would be some serious irony that David Glass kept the team in KC and then Sherman who's actually from KC moves the team away.

Is there anyone even suggesting that outside of this thread?

Bally Sports Networks went belly up today…the entire RSN/distribution debacle could get REAL interesting now….

Just another reason why baseball is fading and MLB is ran by complete dipshits…

No one legit. I definitely have seen other fans on social media make that suggestion though.

got it, no revenue, no payroll..

No.

They’re not moving the team.

Demolition starts in this Kansas City neighborhood as Royals push for downtown stadium
BY KEVIN HARDY JANUARY 27, 2023 5:00 AM



Kansas City has issued demolition permits for several buildings in the East Village, one of the top sites under consideration for a new downtown baseball stadium.

Crews have already begun tearing down the former Wiltshire Apartments building, a four-story brick structure at 10th and Holmes streets. Earlier this month, the city also issued pre-demolition permits for several other buildings in the East Village: the Della Lamb building at 1000 Charlotte St., the former Blackstone Hotel at 817 Cherry St. and a parking garage at 815 Cherry St.

The moves are the most visible sign in years of impending change for the long overlooked area of downtown — and underscore the belief of many that the neighborhood is the Kansas City Royals’ top choice for a new stadium.


“If I really had to make a bet and say to everybody today where that new stadium is being proposed, I am going with the East Village,” said Chris Stritzel, a developer who noticed the demolition of the Wiltshire building while walking around the area this week.

Anyone paying attention would know that the stadium is going in East Village and has been since the beginning of the discussion. The general public will lightly follow the press releases that different sites are being considered but this thing has been decided since Sherman bought the team. And I'm good with it...just saying.
