Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall joins the show to discuss his journey from living in a camper while working in Minor League Baseball to leading one of baseball’s most fascinating front offices. Nick reflects on his early days around the Moneyball-era Athletics, the mentors who shaped him, and what it takes to build and sustain a small market franchise in today’s game.

Nick and Thad also dive into the realities of trading star players, building pitching depth in Cincinnati, navigating ownership conversations, drafting Hunter Greene, winning the 2024 MLB Draft Lottery, and the art of evaluating other organizations around the league. It’s an inside look at roster building, trades, scouting and leadership from one of baseball’s top executives.
