Kansas City Royals Relocating?

In the history of MLB, there have been 12 teams that have relocated to a new city. Honestly, the relocations are kind of hard to track, as teams often moved, changed names, then would move again. Some of the team names we know today were once part of another franchise, which is why it gets tricky. If I’m confusing you now, just wait, it will make sense shortly.

Anyhow, most of these moves came awhile ago when the MLB landscape was shifting to include the entire nation. However, one relocation has occurred this century, as most of you probably already know, but we will keep it a secret for now. Therefore, some of these teams have storied histories in both cities, some only in one. Some of these relocations have brought success and glory, while others have done no more than change the name of the club. Nonetheless, depending what side you are on, relocations are exciting things in the sports world. Let us take a look at the current team relocating.

The Royals announced Tuesday that they will move out of Kansas City, Mo., where they have been since 1969 and move to Jupiter, FLA.

Although its lease with Kansas City, Mo., is not up until 2025, it was first reported in March that a board member for the Royals revealed they were leaning toward leaving Kansas City, possibly soon.
