Former Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost, who led them during their 2015 World Series championship run, will be returning to the team as a senior advisor to the general manager, J.J. Picollo. Yost worked as the Royals' manager from 2010-19 and was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame. He hasn't worked in MLB since the 2019 season.

And now he is back with the organization, hired this week as a senior adviser to Royals general manager J.J. Picollo. He hopes to also be a resource for current KC manager Matt Quatraro, who led the Royals back to the playoffs for the first time since that World Series championship 10 years ago.

The Royals have hired Ned Yost as a senior adviser to general manager J.J. Picollo, bringing back the manager who led them to back-to-back American League pennants and a World Series title in 2015.

Ned Yost is back with the Royals. The club announced Tuesday that Yost, the winningest manager in franchise history, will serve as a senior advisor to general manager J.J. Picollo.
