It’s official – the Cincinnati Reds are running it back in 2027

The Cincinnati Reds ownership confirmed that general manager Nick Krall and the front office will remain in place for 2027 despite a disappointing 2026 season. Pitching director Derek Johnson will depart his role after being on leave since June, but the same decision-makers will handle his replacement. The team enters the offseason with limited trade assets, as several young players like Nick Lodolo, Andrew Abbott, and Hunter Greene experienced setbacks or injuries that diminished their value. With only modest free-agent spending power available, the front office faces pressure to find value in a thin market after years of struggles in player acquisitions.
