Kansas City Royals owner David Glass may sell the team to a group that includes KC native John Sherman.
Sherman, a multimillionaire energy magnate and vice chairman of the Cleveland Indians, heads a group with whom Glass has discussed a possible sale, Ken Rosenthal and Jayson Stark of The Athletic reported.
The MLB club issued a statement Tuesday evening ahead of a 7:15 p.m. first pitch against the Oakland Athletics at Kauffman Stadium:
“The Kansas City Royals are not in a position to make any comments on the published speculation regarding any potential sale of the ball club. The Royals will make no further statements at this time.”
“We can do it better than most people,” said Jimmy Viccaro at the South Point sportsbook.
Viccaro has been bookmaking for 45 years and predicts the Royals are favorites to move to Las Vegas.
“It’s open the door up for a lot of other people to say why not us? Kansas City? Viable to me,” said Viccaro.
