Reds ownership, payroll, roster construction & analytics from a fan's perspective. I use ChatGPT for research & analysis. Opinions and conclusions are my own.
Would You Re-Elect Phil Castellini for Reds President??
Reds fans don't get a vote. But after two years as President & CEO, Phil has a record to run on.
Forget the last name. Judge the record.
I did.
What has improved? What hasn't?

Steak Money. Liver Results.
If the next CBA gives the Reds a bigger food budget, great.
But more money doesn't guarantee a better dinner.
At some point, the question isn't the wallet. It's who's pushing the cart.

I dug deeper into the Reds ownership question.
$270M value in 2006 → $1.6B today. Bob → Phil. Rival MLB owners reportedly think Cincinnati could be next to sell.
My estimate: 50/50 within 3 years.

Are We Actually Near the End of the Castellini Era?
What the numbers, ownership transition and coming MLB labor battle tell us about the possibility of a Reds sale.

Reds ownership question: Nightengale reports rival MLB owners think Cincinnati could be the next team sold. The Reds went from $270M in 06 to $1.6B today. That is roughly 493% ROI over a 20 year period. I put a sale within 3 years at ~50/50. @ctrent.bsky.social @gdubmlb.bsky.social — over or under?
