“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,” he said.
Yost is the winningest manager in Royals franchise history with 744 victories and the first manager to lead the team to back-to-back World Series appearances. Yost joined the Royals in 2010 after a six-season stint with the Brewers.
