Mike Matheny
Mike Matheny was not exactly a popular choice when the Kansas City Royals hired him to take over for Ned Yost. However, the organization hoped that he would be able to guide their young players as they began their MLB careers, leading the team back to glory.
That was supposed to begin this year. The Royals had designs on contending, claiming that they were about to emerge from their rebuilding project. And yet, they have managed to be bad enough where the Reds, who started 3-22 on the season, have passed them in the standings.
One change has already been made. The Royals did fire their hitting coach back on May 16. However, that has done absolutely nothing as they have continued to spiral down the standings. It is time for other changes to be made as well.
Unless the Royals turn their season around soon, it will be time for even more changes. The entire coaching staff should be on the chopping block, including Matheny. He does not seem to be the manager needed to get the Royals’ youngsters to that next level.
The Kansas City Royals need to do something to contend. Getting rid of Mike Matheny and the rest of the coaching staff would be a good start.
