Royals manager Ned Yost will officially retire following the completion of
the 2019 season, the team announced today in a press release. He’ll finish
his career with the most victories in Royals franchise history and is the
only Royals manager to ever make consecutive World Series appearances. Yost
issued the following statement in today’s release:

“With the development of our young players and our returning veterans, I
feel and hope the worst is behind us in this rebuilding phase of our
organization. My plan all along was to get us through the rough times then
turn it over to a new manager to bring us the rest of the way. I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed my time here as your manager and will never forget the
good and the hard times we had together as an organization and a fan base.
I will never forget the fact that you fans supported us through it all.
Kansas City will always have a special place in my heart, and I look forward
to rooting for the Royals on to their next World Championship very soon.”
Yost, 65, has managed the Royals since the 2010 season, logging a collective
744-836 record in that time. Prior to that, he’d spent parts of six seasons
skippering the Brewers, with whom he won 457 games. Overall, Yost will
complete his managerial career with a 1201-1338 record, two American League
pennants and one World Series title. He’s 32nd all-time in total games
managed at the MLB level, and his current total of 1201 wins ranks 45th —
though he’ll have the opportunity to tack on a few more victories and six
more games managed between now and Sunday’s farewell game.
Yost’s retirement has been widely expected, as the skipper himself has
hinted in the past that he isn’t likely to see a rebuild all the way
through. There’s no firm word yet on a successor to Yost, of course, but it
was speculated last November when the Royals hired former Cardinals skipper
Mike Matheny as a special advisor that he was a strong candidate to take the
reins following Yost’s retirement. The Royals won’t make any formal
announcement on the matter for now. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale tweets that
Matheny is indeed “expected” to be the team’s next manager, but MLB.com’s
Jeffrey Flanagan reports that the Royals have yet to commit to Matheny as the
new manager (Twitter link).
Of course, even if that was the plan last November, much has changed in the
Royals organization since Matheny’s hire. Owner David Glass has agreed to
sell the team to Kansas City entrepreneur John Sherman, and while it’s been
reported that general manager Dayton Moore will receive a contract extension
once the new ownership regime formally takes over, it’s not as clear that
the new owners will have the same vision for the manager and his coaching
staff.

A managerial job somewhat surprisingly opened Monday when Ned Yost announced
he’s retiring from his post in Kansas City after a decade at the helm. The
Royals will spend the coming weeks attempting to fill the position for the
first time since before the 2010 season. Although ex-Cardinals skipper and
current Royals special advisor Mike Matheny looks like a candidate for the
opening, he’s not the only member of the organization who will garner
consideration for the role. Two of Yost’s assistants, bench coach Dale Sveum
and quality control and catching coach Pedro Grifol, “are definitely in the
running,” per Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com.
The 55-year-old Sveum is about to wrap up his sixth season on Yost’s staff
and his second in his current role. He also has two full seasons of
managerial experience at the major league level, having overseen the Cubs
from 2012-13. The Cubs put up an unsightly 127-197 record during Sveum’s
tenure, though those rosters weren’t exactly loaded with talent. He’d face
the same non-contending problem in KC, at least initially, as the club has
sewn up its second straight 100-loss season.
Grifol, who will turn 50 in November, has spent seven years with the Royals –
including the past in the job he has now. While Grifol has only managed in
the low minors (with the Seattle organization from 2003-05 and in ’12), he
was among those who interviewed for the Baltimore job that ultimately went to
Brandon Hyde last offseason.
