    Nick Krall named new GM

    Per Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reds/status/994672215839920130

    Williams remains president of baseball ops. Krall promoted from VP/assistant GM role.
    Hope isn't a strategy

    Now they can fire the GM when next year's team is still bad and Williams gets to say "We decided to be proactive!".

    With this team being so bad and out of it, I guess they decided they needed to Krall before they learned to walk.

    All part of the Williams plan.

    He fired himself for trading for Harvey.

    Really, this was just a matter of time. DW has noted several times that the constant demands of being a GM, along with having 4 young kids, were a challenge for him.

    I would think this is a way to illustrate Dick is in over his head as the primary point of contact and chief decision maker. Trend nowadays seems to be kicking the guy upstairs takes that away.

    Re: Nick Krall named new GM

    Nick Krall has a pretty typical baseball background - started out in scouting, and moved up gradually. I can't find a ton of information on him beyond that right now.

    An interview with RedReporter in 2009 goes into his background a bit

    With all their recent success I, for one, am glad they decided to stay in-house.
