Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall has yet to learn from his past mistakes. During his tenure as the team's GM, Krall set the stage for disappointment after saying the Reds would be aligning their payroll to their resources. Then there was the infamous "peaks and valleys" comment he made that caused Reds Country to roll their eyes in disgust. Earlier this week, Krall stuck his foot in his mouth again.
The team's top decision-maker raised eyebrows during a radio interview after claiming that Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz played through injury during the second-half of the 2025 season.
