New Reds Owners

Carl Lindner is gone. The CEO is Robert H. Castellini, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Castellini Company. His family owned the team from the 60s-80s.

Red Reporter has comments, as does Marc Lancester in the Post.

Blog ethics say you are supposed to add something to the conversation...so here you go. I'm glad Lindner is gone, I don't think he did anything for the team. I don't expect very much out of the next guy, either.

There's a lot of excitement at redszone.com, on this, and a lot of high hopes. Castellini is part owner of the Cardinals, considered a good model for building the Reds. They have many obstacles.

Oh, and no one on the board will support them if DanO isn't gone right away--and John Allen, too.

I'd be surprised if any radical moves are made.
