Royals exercise 2013 option on manager Ned Yost
Last year we saw what can happen when a veteran manager of a young, suddenly decent team has a contract that expires at the end of the season, but the Royals have ensured they won't have a Jim Riggleman situation by exercising their 2013 option on Ned Yost before spring training even begins.
The Royals have picked up their club option on Joakim Soria, keeping the two-time All-Star closing games for them next season.
