I don't know who the owners are, but for as big as baseball is in that town, they have never retained their better players. They bring them in from the farms, train them up to do good things, then wouldn't pay them what they were worth. That's been KC's thing for decades. Contract up? OK, see ya. They end up on the Yankees or Red Sox payroll. One of the lowest budgets in baseball.
I've seen the same thing for an even longer period with the Detroit Lions. Previous owner Bill Ford never had an interest in team development. He's bring in a star like Barry Sanders to keep people coming to the ballpark. Never built a support for him. Same for others. Come see our star get the crap kicked out of him in a valiant, but way short effort.
