Royals owner John Sherman reiterated that the team has not “picked a final location” for a new ballpark as they are “still evaluating options and gathering information,” according to Jaylon Thompson of the K.C. STAR. Sherman said, “These are complex, multi-jurisdiction public and private partnerships. They always take longer than any of us hope. And you know, they really should take a long time. It’s a generational decision and we’ve got to get it right.” Thompson wrote the Royals are “committed to keeping the organization in Kansas City — a fulfillment invoked by former owner Ewing Kauffman.” Royals new President of Business Operations Cullen Maxey was welcomed to the organization on Monday afternoon, and he will “oversee all departments outside of baseball operations.” Maxey spent 20 seasons with the D-backs organization and “helped oversee the planning of the Salt River Fields Complex and an entertainment district in Phoenix.” Maxey’s arrival “shifts Brooks Sherman — no relation to John — to a new position.” Brooks Sherman has become the Royals’ President of Real Estate and Development. His job will be “focused on the club’s pursuit to build” a new ballpark (K.C. STAR, 11/11).
