Bob Castellini: Reds' commitment to winning 'has never wavered'
"That commitment has never wavered. It is simply untrue that our resolve to win has waned in any way. I really want our fans to hear that directly from me. Our fans fell in love with these players, as did I, and it hurts to see them go. Players like Jesse Winker, who came up in our organization - and we watched grow from prospect to All-Star. These were very tough decisions made against the realities of today’s game, where money must be invested at every level of our baseball operation."
"We’ve seen that our focus on sustainability through acquiring and developing talent is working. ... We know that the investments in scouting and player development that we’ve made since 2019 are paying off."
"We have more to do. We need to pursue postseason play in this expanded format that is starting in 2022. And we need to rekindle the trust we have lost with some of the fanbase."
"It is my sincere hope that we can restore the fans' confidence. I have read their emails, texts and social posts. This has been difficult for every member of our organization because we have not turned our back on them. Ours is a stewardship we take very seriously, and I am asking fans to continue the journey with us."
"The future is bright, and I have so much confidence in what we are building in the short and long term. We appreciate our fans and cannot wait to see them back at the ballpark."
