In April, Kauffman announced a unique arrangement for keeping the Royals in Kansas City after his death and selected five people, including his son, as the team's board of directors in a complicated succession plan.

Once the succession plan takes effect, the five will become limited partners running the team for eight years while a permanent owner who will keep the team in Kansas City is sought.
