Fuck this organization.

The Castellini family. I’ve written before how they have amassed hundreds of millions in wealth from owning the Reds. That central fact hasn’t changed. The franchise has been appreciating in value by $100 million a year.

Does the Castellini family need to cut payroll? No. The financial well being of families like theirs, with wealth in the range of $1 billion even before considering the value of the team, isn’t threatened by losses in this range. But in the past, they have made crystal clear they won’t dip into their personal wealth or sustain losses for the Reds.

Castellini led a group that purchased the Reds from Lindner for $270 million, and in January 2006, Castellini was named the CEO of the franchise.

The most recent (25 May 2021) valuation of the franchise by Forbes.com says that the Reds are now worth $1.085 billion.

Bob's probably not going to sell the team anytime soon. Where else could he invest $270M and get a $100M (37% increase) in the value of his original investment each year?

I saw the hash tag trending and figured Bob Nutting had given away Brian Reynolds for a bag of peanuts. I'm sure that's still coming.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Wow. Awful for the Reds. Gutted the team while in a very winnable division.

Indefensible.

 

[Jaxbuck]

They just gave up cheap young talent, and I mean actual hitting talent, to get rid of a bad contract.

Wow

Even by Reds front office standards this is awful. It's so fucking bad the sunshine pumpers at RZ are pissed off.

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

I'm honestly amazed you guys still follow this team. I gave up on them at least 15 years ago

If you knew where all the train wrecks were going to be and when, you wouldn't go watch a few?

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

that's why I watch scUM

 

[Tanner]

Nothing like having to include your best player as a sweetener to convince someone else to pay the terrible contract you gave out

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Fuck yourself Bob.

At $3.6mm Ken Griffey Jr is the sixth highest paid player on the payroll this year.

 

[Jaxbuck]

They still have some pitchers under control they can use to get rid of Moustakas and Votto.
