For as much as the Cincinnati Reds organization has evolved over the last decade, general manager Nick Krall said the role of the manager hasn’t changed that much.
On one hand, the Reds are making more data-driven decisions, tweaking the starting lineup more often and turning over the roster more frequently than they used to do. But according to Krall, the most important part of the job is the same.
“It’s all about managing the players in the clubhouse,” Krall said. “It’s just managing people. It’s been the same. You have different personalities coming in now, but no matter what, it’s about managing that group of people in the clubhouse.
