“Why does a perpetual last-place team deserve a new $2 billion stadium?” came the query delivered on stage via Royals broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre. “If you won’t invest in the team, why should we invest in you?”

Entering his fourth season of leading an ownership group through the turbulence of the pandemic, a lockout and scant tangible progress from the two dreadful seasons that preceded, Sherman appeared more amused than aggrieved by the prevailing cynicism.
