Royals extend contract of GM Picollo through 2030 and pick up manager Matt Quatraro’s option in 2026
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City extended executive vice president and general manager J.J. Picollo’s contract through 2030 with a club option for the following year, the Royals announced Monday. The club also exercised manager Matt Quatraro’s option for the 2026 season. “His ability to lead and connect with people, his intellectual curiosity, and his innovative methods of combining the best of traditional scouting and player development with advanced sciences and technologies are driving us toward that ultimate goal.” The Royals promoted Picollo, now in his 19th year with the team, to GM in 2021 and added the executive VP title a year later. John’s confidence in how we operate is humbling and only adds to our collective focus on adding to what the Royals mean to Kansas City and giving our fans a championship team to root for.” Quatraro was the runner-up for AL Manager of the Year.
