Phil Castellini is clueless (continuation of other thread)

Isn’t Mr Proctor and Mr Gamble rich?

Negative. Not even close enough to buy a mlb team.

PandG is a corporate giant. Owned by vanguard, common stock, black rock etc.

The old ceo David Taylor - a NC guy- is worth like 150m. Maybe he could buy 10% of the team.

We need someone who can grab 30%. Which will cost 450+ mill

Or we need an ownership group. 3 pretty rich guys to each chip in 150m. Then hire a gm etc

Good stuff. Thanks.

So we need a conglomerate. Like. A Chinese Gang of Four. They like Red. It’s a perfect cover. But worst team in baseball. Take over America.

Ha exactly.

How many lachey brothers are there? They could be out last hope.

I know people talk about Cuban. Annoying attention grabber but I don’t care at this point. Bring back the ghost of Steinbrenner.

At this point I wish Jim Bowden was the GM. He would churn the roster at least more.

Ken Oakes (TQL and a Flyer) is probably
The only individual In the cincy area who could buy the Reds controlling interest from the Castellini family.

The problem is , Bob castellini hates ken Oakes as he worked for
His produce brokerage before starting TQL and becoming the richest person in the tri state.

Buying the controlling interest oant change much, you need someone (or a group) to buy the whole team period. Nothing will really change unless that happens.

[kaldaniels]

Interesting, didn’t know the founder of TQL went to UD. That company sucks, but I’d def welcome him as new owner.

Cheers!

[Kingspoint]

Clueless?

That used to be the false accusation of Mike Brown.

Clueless, no. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Reds fans send angry message to team president over critical comments

The Reds hosted the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, and some fans sent a message to team president and CEO Phil Castellini via hired plane. The plane flew near Great American Ballpark towing a message that read: “Where ya gonna go? Already Gone. Thx Phil!”

The message is a direct rebuttal to Castellini’s comments in which he essentially dared Reds fans to cheer for another team if they were unhappy with the organization’s direction. Those remarks came after a series of offseason trades that hinted at a full rebuild, a tough pill to swallow when the team has finished below .500 in six of the last eight seasons.

There has to be a hedge fund billionaire that would be interested in the team.

Things could have been so different:

"After leaving Yale, Mr. Landesman started a mutual fund, bought racehorses until he had amassed a dozen — one successful horse would enable him to purchase another — and about three years ago, he said, “came within about five minutes of buying the Cincinnati Reds.” (He lost out to another bidder at the last minute, which he said was “painful.”) "

Thus far, the best part of the season is the pushback given to the ownership group. May it continue until there is new ownership.

Without a doubt. It does my heart proud.
