KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- With the 2017 season over, the Royals are making some on-field changes not having anything to do with the roster.
The team's grounds crew is working to replace the field at Kauffman Stadium.
A Royals spokesman said this is the first time the entire field along with the drainage system is being replaced.
