After weeks of upheaval that saw the team fire its manager and president of baseball operations, the Royals have found their next skipper.
Kansas City is reportedly hiring Matt Quatraro as its new manager, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Quatraro, 48, has spent the past four years with the Rays, the last three of which he spent as the team’s bench coach. Prior to that, he was Tampa Bay’s third base coach.
Quatraro played for seven seasons in the minors before transitioning to coaching. His first major-league gig came with Cleveland as the team’s assistant hitting coach in 2014.
