Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro sits down to talk about his journey from Cleveland and Tampa coaching roots to leading a massive culture shift in KC following a 106-loss season. He shares lessons learned from working under Terry Francona and Kevin Cash, how Giambi helped him become a better coach, and what it means to create psychological safety in a clubhouse.
Quatraro opens up about his evolving role, the challenge of managing through losses, and earning buy-in from leaders like Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. He reflects on support from his family, insights from legends like Ned Yost and George Brett, and how his approach has grown—from minor league learning curves to playoff intensity. From getting ejected to making tough decisions, Q offers a raw, honest look at what it takes to manage at the highest level.
