I George McGovern, will handle the baseball responsibilities next season. 2. Manager Joe Maddon has elected to retire rather than finish his tenure as Manager of the Kansas City Royals. A replacement has yet to be determined. 3. Come hell or high water, Bubba Starling will be manning center field for the Royals in 2015. 4. The Kansas City Royals will be restructured this offseason. I will not accept any questions, that is the end of the press conference.

And with that, George McGovern walked from the podium through the doors of the conference room amid a massive volume of questions from the 30+ reporters present.

They haven't seen the last of George McGovern...
