Cincinnati Reds president and COO Phil Castellini issued an apology Tuesday night after his viral radio comments about fan criticism.
“I apologize to Reds fans and regret the comments that I made earlier today,” Castellini said in a statement. “We love this city, we love this team, and we love our fans. I understand how our fans feel and I am sorry.”
Castellini, son of Reds owner Bob Castellini, was asked in a pregame 700-WLW radio interview about why fans should remain loyal after the organization lowered player payroll during the offseason. The Reds haven’t won a playoff series since 1995 and have only five winning seasons since Castellini’s ownership group bought the team in 2006.
"Well, where are you going to go?" he said."Sell the team to who? That's the other thing: You want to have this debate? .... What would you do with this team to have it more profitable, make more money, compete more in the current economic system that this game exist? It would be to pick it up and move it somewhere else.
