Major League Baseball’s owners approved the transfer of control of the Reds from Bob Castellini to Phil Castellini, according to the New York Times.
“This was the conclusion of the process that was started when the Reds announced organizational changes in July of 2024, naming Phil president and CEO, and Doug Healy as COO and CFO,” the Reds said in a statement.
WCPO reports that those changes went into effect in August 2024.
Bob Castellini became the principal owner and CEO of the Cincinnati Reds back in 2006.
