NED YOST RUMORS & GOSSIP

Royals' Yost hopes to get another long reliever soon

Felipe Paulino made sure the Royals did not need a long reliever Monday night by throwing 6 2/3 scoreless innings in Kansas City's 6-0 victory over the New York Yankees. Manager Ned Yost had to use only Tim Collins for 1 1/3 innings and Aaron Crow for one inning to close out the shutout. However, Yost knows that won't be the case every night. Many games, the Royals starters...

Ned Must Go

I had almost gotten to the point where I felt guilty about writing this. Almost. As the Kansas City Royals moved closer and closer to respectability, Ned Yost seemed to fiddle less and I began to think maybe the first two weeks of the season were just a hiccup. I became nervous again with his handling of the bullpen on Wednesday, and was pushed over the edge today when I saw his...

Ned Yost: Loser of the Week

Is this Rafael Palmeiro or Ned Yost?....it is difficult to tell behind the caterpillar. Royals manager Ned Yost on their 3-14 start:  the ”adversity” of a 3-14 start is the “fertilizer for maturity and growth.”    This comes from the same guy that would tell the media that “Soup pitched well”, when describing Jeff Suppan giving up 5 runs in...

Is it already time for the Royals to fire Ned Yost?

The Kansas City Royals were supposed to be a dark horse contender for the AL Central this season. Instead, the dark horse is already on its way to the glue factory now that the Royals have started off the season 3-13 and are mired in an 11-game losing streak. Looking to oust a manager a mere 16 games into the season seems awfully premature, but hey, if the screaming masses in Boston...

Will Ned Yost Make It To The End Of The Season?

While the Royals are 3rd in the Al Central with 3 wins and 4 loses. The question still remains, that if the Royals do not reach .500, will David Glass and Dayton Moore fire Ned Yost. I believe that they will have to fire him, to save the franchise. I don't think the Kansas City Royals can handle another losing season. If we only win 71 games, like last year, he will not be back...

Ned Yost and Jeff Foxworthy are hunting buddies, killed over 100 deer last year

If you’re a comedian who has killed over 100 deer in a season with your baseball manager buddy, you might be a redneck. Fortunately this is a tale involving Jeff Foxworthy, so it’s one of the few times where it’s safe to use arguably the corniest punchline in history. Foxworthy and Royals manager Ned Yost are hunting buddies, and they estimate that they killed roughly...

Yost will not Name a Royals Closer

Royals manager, Ned Yost, sees no need to name an official replacement for injured closer, Joakim Soria. “Normally, yes, I would like to have one guy designated as the closer,” Yost said, “because a closer takes pressure off of everyone else. But with the makeup of our bullpen, I don’t necessarily feel we need that right now. “We’ve got guys down there who all know...

Brewers players wish well for Cubs' Sveum

PHOENIX In six seasons on the Milwaukee Brewers' coaching staff, Dale Sveum did it all. Hired by Ned Yost in 2006 to serve as third base coach, he became the team's bench coach a year later. In 2008, Sveum became the unlikeliest of interim managers, taking the reins after Yost was fired with 12 games to play as the Brewers returned to the playoffs for the first time in...
