The Royals made news on Friday with the organization saying it would continue to pay its minor league players, more than 200 of them, throughout the summer. The minor league season is in doubt because of COVID-19. Also, general manager Dayton Moore said that Royals employees would avoid furloughs and layoffs even with baseball’s future uncertain.
We’ll hear from Moore, Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy and Star columnist Sam Mellinger on this move that has received overwhelmingly positive reviews in the sport, and talk about the future of the baseball season on SportsBeat KC with host Blair Kerkhoff.
