That franchise is a disgrace. Revenue sharing has actually been making a difference in the last couple years. Many of the "small market" teams have been slowly improving, but the Royals have been moving in the opposite direction. It's almost as if they WANT to lose...they're like the LA Clippers.
I think that Major Leagues - in any sport - should have a system where owners that have demonstrated a clear lack of interest in being competitive can be bought out by the league without their consent, as long as they get fair market value for the franchise (perhaps set by an independent auditor). Teams like the Clippers, the Bengals, the Royals, the Devil Rays, etc are BAD for their respective sports.
