The following year, in 2010, the Royals began with a rocky start, and after the team's record fell to 12–23, general manager Dayton Moore fired manager Trey Hillman. After Hillman's departure, former Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost took over as manager. Despite the change, the Royals finished with a 67–95 record, in last place in the division for the sixth time in seven years.
