The Reds announced Monday that general manager Nick Krall to lead the club’s baseball operations department.
He’ll take over the duties of Dick Williams, who resigned earlier this month for personal reasons. Krall has been in the Reds organization for 19 seasons, including the past three as general manager under Williams. He will keep the GM title with this new role, reporting directly to owner Bob Castellini. The Reds went 31-29 during the regular season before being eliminated by the Braves during the expanded MLB playoffs. They still have a very good team in place, though Trevor Bauer is the top free agent starting pitcher on the market.
