The logical choice for Dick Williams successor is Reds GM Nick Krall.
Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams resigned today, leaving a big hole in the team’s front office. Thankfully, current general manager Nick Krall is likely to take over the entire aspect of baseball ops going forward.
Don’t expect some exhaustive search to find Williams successor. He’s likely already in the building. After years as the team’s assistant general manager, Krall was promoted in May 2018 to the Reds GM, a role that, according to the Reds press release, he still maintains.
