Bowden for Reds CEO role eyed by Schott amid shakeup
Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott aims to make Jim Bowden chief executive officer for the remainder of her 24 year absence. An NL source cited by The Cincinnati Enquirer says Bowden would have to give up general manager duties, a condition Bowden reportedly declined. Schott and NL president Leonard Coleman Jr. attended Hall of Fame events as discussions continue. Schott previously aimed to replace her long term successor by August 11. She has considered interim CEO options John Allen and Charles Mechem Jr. but indicated Allen will not stay on. Bowden, 35, led as CEO during part of Schott's 1993 suspension. Detailing other MLB comments, the report outlines a high-stakes leadership transition.
