Reds predicted by MLB owners to be next franchise to undergo one huge change originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Cincinnati Reds have been mired in mediocrity for a while now, and while they made the postseason and even got off to a good start this season, they really need some more help to get back into the playoffs and make a serious run.
While Sal Stewart turning into a superstar helps, the Reds do still need to invest more in this team. More specifically, they need greater financial commitments from the Reds ownership group.
Fortunately, that might be coming soon. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, rival MLB owners are predicting the Reds will be the next franchise to sell.
"Rival owners predict that the Cincinnati Reds could be the next MLB team sold," Nightengale writes. "Certainly, Bob Castellini will make a cool profit if he does put them on the block, purchasing the franchise for $270 million in 2006. It's now worth about $1.6 billion."
