Cincinnati Reds general manager Nick Krall was named the new head of the baseball operations department Monday.
Krall will keep his same title, but he will report to owner Bob Castellini and assume the duties from Dick Williams, the former president of baseball operations who resigned on Oct. 7 for personal reasons.
"We are excited for Nick to assume the lead over our baseball operations,” Reds owner Bob Castellini said in a statement. “His hands-on approach as general manager gives us the opportunity to reinstate that role as the top position in our baseball department and keep the years of hard work that happened under his purview producing stronger, more competitive teams.
