With $2 Billion Investment, Patrick Mahomes Not Only Outshines Hal Steinbrenner in Business Acumen but Also Makes the Better Shortstop Choice

It has been a disastrous 2023 for the?New York Yankees, which currently placed last in the AL East. With their ninth straight loss, they have created a record that was unmatched since 1982. After this loss, they have lost their grip?on the playoffs and now trail by 10.5 games behind the last likely spot. With this, the Yankees are unlikely to make it to the postseason, which would be a setback for?Hal Steinbrenner.

Steinbrenner invested a lot of money, but they still failed. This brings his need for more attention to the shortstop position under scrutiny. It raises the question, should the Yankees have signed anyone else? Though the Yankees failed to realize it, Kansas City Royals part-owner?Patrick Mahomes?knew this since the start of the season. It also synced with the club’s latest $2 billion investment. Though was it enough to get fans backing??

Patrick Mahomes Named Kansas City Royals’ Shortstop To Be the Best in the League

The Yankees signed Volpe for the shortstop position. But he has yet to live up to the expectations. In the season so far, he is averaging 0.217 with 17 HRs. 50 RBIs at an OPS of 0.688. While Royals’ Bobby is averaging 0.278. He has also scored 25 HRs and 80 RBIs at an OPS of 0.816.?The numbers prove that Mahomes’s investment in the club and bet on Bobby is successful.

And after this success, he is now party to the Royals’ big $2 Billion project, which is related to a new stadium. He might also win over other big MLB investors here. But was his investment in Bobby enough for him to get the fan’s support?
