When Dick Williams resigned as the Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations, it wasn’t entirely clear if the organization planned to replace him in the role or if they would just go back to a model where there wasn’t one and with the General Manager being the top baseball-related person in the hierarchy. But before the ink, digital or not, had even dried on the stories that Williams had left, the rumors began to fly about who could take the job next. One name that constantly came up was Michael Hill.
Originally from Cincinnati, Michael Hill was the President of Baseball Operations for the Miami Marlins at the time.
