PITTSBURGH –– Before the Cincinnati Reds front office makes decisions on the team's upcoming team options, before they approach Nick Castellanos’ opportunity to enter free agency and before the Reds finalize a plan for free agency, general manager Nick Krall said the Reds need to determine their budget for the 2022 season.
Krall said the organization’s first step in the offseason will be finalizing the 2022 budget, which will be based on the team's revenue.
“How we use our money at the end of the day, that’s going to depend on where we are from a budget standpoint,” Krall said.
