K.C. Royals’ John Sherman Sets Sights on 2027 Following Payroll Adjustment

Royals owner John Sherman is optimistic about future investments in the team’s roster for 2027. He noted that the team’s current payroll is at a high of $143.1 million but acknowledged this season’s struggles, with the Royals sitting in last place in the AL Central. Despite calls for change in the front office, Sherman expressed confidence in GM J.J. Picollo, emphasizing the need to plan for 2027 and improve the team moving forward. With around $30 million coming off the payroll due to free agency and trades, the Royals have a chance to rebuild and enhance their roster for the future.
