Earlier this week we saw Dick Williams resign from his position as Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations. While Williams has been working for the organization since 2006, he didn’t take over as the General Manager until November of 2015, but during that 2016 season it was still Walt Jocketty that was calling the shots according to C. Trent Rosecrans report from the day it happened (then of the Cincinnati Enquirer, now of The Athletic).
Walt Jocketty ceded the general manager’s title to Dick Williams on Wednesday and he will give up power following the 2016 season.
