He would be right if the players were making $150k and he was making $30k.  But his players average over $4M and he's likely making over a million.  If he doesn't want to tell the fans what's up with his team, that's fine, but he has to give back 90% of his salary and convince all of his players to do the same.

Nah... regardless of salary, it's his job to manage the media and to manage (along with the GM) who in the org says what to whom... if he wants something to be a secret, then he needs to get everybody who knows the secret to STFU...

This is true.  He said in his rant that it's not the reporters' job to unearth and air everything about the Reds, but that's exactly their job.  I'm sure there are things going on in the locker room that reporters know that they're not going to publish, but that's likely personal stuff.  Anything that deals with baseball, like roster moves, player availability, etc. - that's fair game.
