Strike jeopardizes Royals' future
Despite Kauffman's vision and a fruitful farm system, finances are still a concern
The ^associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The long range plan that a dying Ewing Kauffman hoped would keep baseball in Kansas City is being damaged by the players' strike, team officials said.
"If we can't find a buyer in this town, there could be an emotional buyer from another town," said Herman. "At which time you'd have to listen. Mr. K. asked us to try to find a local buyer. We're going to try."
President Mike Herman believes if things don't work out and the big-market, small-market issues at the heart of the dispute are not resolved, the future of the Royals in Kansas City could be in doubt.
"But if it continues the way it is, with escalating player salaries and the disparity of income between big and small markets, it seems unlikely we'll find a local buver."
Kauffman, who died on Aug. 1, 1993, was one of baseball's wealthiest owners and possibly its most generous.
Knowing he had terminal cancer, the self-made billionaire locked up expensive free agents such as pitcher David Cone, set aside millions to shore up the Royals' losses the next three years, and ordered an immediate build-up of the minor league system.
Upon his death, a succession plan
went into effect, pending IRS approval, that turns the club over to the Kansas City Community Foundation and Trust.
It was all part of a plan to keep the team in Kansas City, with charities getting all proceeds from the sale of the club.
But the strike has caused the Royals to close their important fall instructional league at just the time the minor league buildup seems to be bearing fruit.
The Royals' payroll of more than $40 million was already causing the team to lose about $16 million even without a strike, Herman said, making the Royals No. 1 among major league money-losers.
At a board meeting next Monday, consideration will be given to laying off full time employees, which was not done during the 51-day strike of 1981.
"Our payroll right now is too high. I'll admit it," Herman said. "Mr. K. was willing to lose money.
"But he knew our youth movement would come in strong, probably about 1996. And all these current long-term contracts would be expired, and we wouldn't have to renew them.
Three of the Royals' minor league clubs have qualified for the playoffs and bright prospects seem to abound.
"The game plan was by 1996, we'd have a powerful team. The big-market, small-market imbalance would be straightened out, and we could find the local buyer."

Kansas City Royals president
including Sergio Numez, an infielder in the Gulf Coast Rookie League who's hitting 399.
"We now have the best farm system we've ever had," Herman said. "But their development is being impeded by the strike."
The bulk of Kauffman's huge estate will go to charity through the Kauffman Foundation, which would become ultimately responsible for the club if the succession plan does not go through.
If a local owner is not found in three years, the foundation's directors would have some tough decisions to make.
"The Royals add $200 million a year to the local economy," Herman said. "That's the way Mr. K, justified subsidizing the club. That was the way he always looked at the Royals.
"I'm optimistic. With the kind of team we're going to have, we'll get the Royals to break even, and maybe get a local syndicate of investors.
