Paul Hagen: Young MLB players seem to lean toward secure deals
But when it comes to meddlesome owners, the Yankees' Baby Boss has nothing on Reds CEO Bob Castellini.
The impatient Castellini fired general manager Wayne Krivsky on Wednesday after just over 2 years on the job. Krivsky replaced Dan O'Brien, who also was sacked by Castellini after two seasons.
The Reds' slow start (9-12) and some deals that resulted in paying players who were no longer with the teams apparently triggered the dismissal. But the reality seems to be that little short of a world championship was going to keep the owner from replacing Krivsky with the respected Walt Jocketty, who he knew from when both were with the Cardinals.
And if that's the case, he should have just gone ahead and made the change during the offseason.
Move over, Hank. You have company. *
