Phil Castellini surprised that Opening Day tickets still unsold

There are tons of terrible billionaires down south, let one of them buy it and move the team to NC. Charlotte or Raleigh. Maybe they will actually spend enough on the team and those cities and the surrounding areas are wayyyyyyyyyy nicer than the Cinci area.

We need new ownership, but the Reds are Cincinnati. Fans who want otherwise can go elsewhere as the history of this team here is greater than you or I.

Best of luck to the MLB expanding to a city of your choice though. Really. It baffles me that the Carolinas do not have a team, but I’m guessing it was due to fear of the Braves market. I think it makes a lot more sense personally than expansion to Montreal again.

Lol...all you need to do is look at the pic of this guy and listen to the sound bite in the article. This dude is a Richard, in the worst way.

As someone who has primarily defended the Castellini's during their tenure, even when they have made it really tough to do so Phil made a massive mistake today and they need their PR team to get on that ASAP. To say "where you gonna go?" and talk about relocation is about as stupid of a comment that one could make, and a direct slap in the face to fans. Phil probably needs to stay behind the scenes for a while after that interview.

As someone who thought the billboard idea was initially stupid, Phil's comments today make me want to donate.

It was spoken like a man who truly does not understand that "NOT BASEBALL" is a legitimate answer to his question and a serious problem for his business.

He reminds me of Drew Rosenhaus. Greasy, slimy

Phil Castellini Came to opening day dressed like a villain from a Tim Burton movie, so it’s fitting he acted worse than one.

As a person that has never lived in the Cincinnati area I wouldn’t care at all. In fact, I would prefer if they were out of Charlotte, NC. Would give me more excuses to visit.

no offense, but what a stupid post.

sorry, correction: offense.

To be fair: I was really pissed off

Statement from Reds president Phil Castellini: “I apologize to Reds fans and regret the comments that I made earlier today. We love this city, we love this team, and we love our fans. I understand how our fans feel and I am sorry.”

We have all made bone headed comments before, and I really have no interest in hating Phil Castellini. The thing I don't get is Phil made his statement roughly what 7 hours ago? Then he goes on TV and tries to justify his statement when asked about it. Now hours later after the PR team can get a handle on things he makes an apology. There is a lack of humility in this whole situation which makes this apology feel pretty worthless.

Yeah, it's an apology for saying something, not an apology for believing what he clearly believes. This won't change his attitude towards the fanbase or the city of Cincinnati.

You can’t swing your phallus and act Jerry Jones in Dallas if your approach is callous
