It’s the biggest Kansas City professional sports franchise move in more than five decades. The Chiefs are moving to Kansas.

The team and state made the major announcement Monday in Topeka, and on SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR, columnist Sam McDowell breaks down why the decision to relocate was made and what it means to the team and metropolitan area.

After a break, Royals beat writer Jaylon Thompson provides an update on the latest moves by the Royals. They’ve added outfield help but is it enough?

SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. It’s produced by Randy Mason, Monty Davis, Irvin Zhang, Suzanne Hogan, and Gabriella Lacey, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.
