Clay County Western Commissioner Jason Withington said in an interview with The Star that the county gave the Royals a Thursday deadline to have a deal worked out ahead of a planned April 2026 vote on a potential future stadium.
Withington is one of seven county commissioners — and is not a member of the county’s negotiating committee with the team — but said it’s apparent to him the Royals would not meet that deadline.
“I’m done,” Withington said, adding that the team had years to come to a decision. “Everybody else (on the commission) can make up their own mind what they want to do. For me, I’m just done dealing with it. We have other issues that we need to be focused on.”
