The Reds fired manager Bryan Price:
The Cincinnati Reds have fired manager Bryan Price after the team toiled through a 3-15 start in his fifth season with the club.
The Reds said in a statement Thursday morning that pitching coach Mack Jenkins has also been fired. Bench coach Jim Riggleman was named Cincinnati’s interim manager. The statement said the Reds will conduct a search for a permanent manager “later in the year.”
I suspect the success of new managers Gabe Kapler and Alex Cora made Bryan’s poor start in his fourth season look bad. It also didn’t help that the Pirates, who traded away their two best players, started 12-6.
Given that the pitching coach was also fired, the lack of development of the pitchers also likely played a major role in the firing. Of course, it could be poor talent evaluation by the front office.
