Royals owner David Glass says general manager Dayton Moore will "absolutely" stay in Kansas City.

"We're all part of this together," Glass told CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.

Yahoo's Jeff Passan reported earlier Wednesday that Moore was a candidate to take the general manager job with the Braves. Moore spent more than a decade working for the Braves before taking over as the Royals' GM in 2006.

Under Moore's direction, the Royals qualified for the playoffs this season for the first time since 1985. Their victory over the Orioles Wednesday sent them to their first World Series since that year. 

Atlanta's interim GM, John Hart, reportedly declined an offer to take the job on a full-time basis.
