Reds have modified the front office. I suppose we can make of it what we will.
WILLIAMS TO THE WALL
The Reds restructured their front office Wednesday. According to an official announcement from the club, assistant general manager Dick Williams has been promoted to general manager. Former general manager Walt Jocketty will remain as the president of baseball operations.
"Eight seasons ago we trusted Walt to provide this organization with leadership, and he produced championship-caliber teams," said tea president and CEO Bob Castellini in a statement. "Walt reset the expectations and culture of this franchise. He and his staff have been responsible for our return to the postseason in recent years and I know Dick has the qualities and ability to continue that tradition of success in the future."
Many teams are adopting the president of baseball operations/general manager power structure, which became in vogue after Theo Epstein took over as president of baseball operations with the Cubs. In most cases the president of baseball operations calls the shots and the general manager is almost like an assistant.
