Castellini Era

[*ochocincos*]

I decided to look up specifics for when Castellini took over as owner of the Reds.
This quote from Wikipedia made me chuckle.

Quote:After the 2005 season, the Reds had endured five consecutive losing seasons, the team's longest such streak in 50 years, under the ownership of Carl Lindner. 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.

At the time of Castellini's takeover, five consecutive losing seasons was the worst stretch in the Reds' previous 50 years.
Since Castellini's takeover, the Reds actually BROKE that stretch: 2014-2019 (6 seasons).
The COVID-shortened year ended up breaking that streak, finishing at a measly 31-29.
In fact, the Reds haven't finished a season 5+ games over .500 since 2013's 90-win season, which was Dusty's last.

Do the Reds need to go out and find a proven GM like they had with Walt now that they have a proven winning manager from prior teams?
