CINCINNATI RedsPhil Castellini, the president, seemed to tell fans Tuesday that they had no option but to accept their team’s reduced roster. After this apology hours later, he apologized.
Castellini is also the chief operating officer of the Reds. He is the son and controlling owner of the Reds since January 2006. Cincinnati has reached the playoffs four times over the past 15 years. They lost in the division series in 2010, ’12 and ’20, as well as the wild-card round in 2013, ’20 and 2013. In that time, the Reds have a winning record in only five seasons.
Phil Castellini was asked by WLW radio Tuesday before the team’s home opener why he should have faith in his fans.
“Well, then, where are you going? Let’s begin. “Sell the team to whom?” Castellini said. Castellini said, “That’s the second thing. You want this debate?” To see what you could do with this team in order to make it more profitable and more competitive in the current economic system, you can go to this link. It would be to move it elsewhere.
“And so, be cautious what you ask. We’re doing our best with what we have. The fans are more satisfied with our results than we are. I don’t think anyone should be unhappy sitting here. I’m not here polishing trophies at the office right now. That’s what we are here to do. But, the bottom line is — I think we need to change our discipline. There have been many things that failed. These things came very close to working but didn’t. I don’t need anyone to tell you that it didn’t work. These are the things I believe we have learned. He is a man with a mission, and I can vouch for Nick (general manager). He is the bull in the china shop who has his own way and that’s to grow his own.
