## Resource

The Reds’ 31-year playoff drought points to deeper issues than just GM Nick Krall’s quiet trade deadline—ownership may be the real roadblock, limiting Krall’s autonomy and vision. While fans blame Krall for roster missteps, respected analyst Ken Rosenthal suggests the problem runs higher up, questioning whether Krall truly has the power to build a contender. Success stories like the Brewers and Rays show what’s possible with strong ownership support—but the Reds have spent more than those teams, making execution and strategy from Krall’s front office equally critical. Ownership deserves blame for stagnation, but Krall and his team also bear responsibility for missed opportunities to break through.
