Williams tabbed Reds president of operations

CINCINNATI -- The Reds announced several front office promotions, new hires and title changes on Tuesday.

Among the moves was general manager Dick Williams taking on the additional title of president of baseball operations. Former president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty was named executive advisor to CEO Bob Castellini.

Williams was promoted to GM after the 2015 season and took over the club's baseball operations department in November after Jocketty stepped aside as part of a succession plan.

Scouts Shawn Pender and Terry Reynolds are becoming special assistants to the GM, player personnel while assistant GMs Sam Grossman and Nick Krall and amateur scouting director Chris Buckley have had vice president added to their titles.
