Reds GM Nick Krall to run team's baseball operations

The Cincinnati Reds found their next president of baseball operations, filling the role internally.

Reds vice president and general manager Nick Krall will run the franchise's baseball operations department, Cincinnati announced Monday. He'll take over for Dick Williams, who resigned from the position on Oct. 7. 

"We are excited for Nick to assume the lead over our baseball operations," Reds CEO Bob Castellini said in a statement. "His hands-on approach as general manager gives us the opportunity to reinstate that role as the top position in our baseball department and keep the years of hard work that happened under his purview producing stronger, more competitive teams."
