Kansas City Royals assistant general manager Scott Sharp will remain with the organization, according to Ken Rosenthal of “The Athletic.”

Sharp received overtures from the San Francisco Giants early in the offseason.

By Rosenthal:

Royals assistant general manager Scott Sharp, on the Giants’ radar for their general manager vacancy, has withdrawn from the process due to family considerations, sources tell The Athletic. Sharp remains interested in leading an organization in the future.

Even if the door remains open for Sharp to leave at some point in the future, there’s certainly nothing wrong with staying in Kansas City. The Royals won 86 games last season, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2015. They also won three playoff games, sweeping the Baltimore Orioles in the wild card round before losing to the New York Yankees in the ALDS.

With Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez, Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo as the core of the group, the Royals are one of the most exciting teams in the American League. They also indicated that they could be active in the market again in the off-season.

As for the Giants team Sharp is turning down, they finished in fourth place in the National League West this season, but there’s reason for optimism there, too. They will have Jung Hoo Lee back healthy next year and should also have more capital to make additional moves.

They could even be a black candidate for future free agent Juan Soto.
