Cincinnati Reds Fire Manager David Bell
The Cincinnati Reds have fired manager David Bell. The Reds had playoff expectations for 2024 but missed those expectations and may very well post a losing season. After the good vibes created in 2023, Bell was given a three-year contract extension. Nick Krall and the Reds decided to cut that contract short after the Reds final home game of the season on Sunday. Who will be the next manager of the Cincinnati Reds? The search begins now!

Only a team like the Reds do a dumb thing like firing a manager only few games left where no impact on the final standing where the Reds traded last two seasons all of their good players and kept on getting back so many short stops for no good reason
I would speculate David Ross, or if Yankees dont win in the playoffs, Aaron Boone…
Im speechless. I'm am happy yet worried….
Or Paul O'Niell
Still shocked they did it with 5 games left
What are the real expectations for the Reds? Can’t be beat the dodgers and Phillies
Hope Terry Francona is ready to manage again
should have done it a month ago…. the only people who thought they were going to make the playoffs were you 2….. now as long as they dont screw up the hiring of the new manager…..good luck with that… is Lou Pinella still alive? ❤😂
Retooling that awful hitting philosophy
I like this team. Exciting, pitching is getting better.
If Larkin is the choice, Pat Kelly needs to be the bench coach
Will re watch in the morning
Buck showalter
Shell out for Nick!
Hmmm…Jay Bruce was at the game today, sitting near the dugout. Now Bell is fired.🤔 Could there be something there or just coincidence?
Scott Servais, Brad Ausmus
YESSSSS!!!
Sean Casey?
Junior?
Well, what'd we expect? I'll tell you. A lot more than what we saw this year!
Wow. Barry Larkin ASAP. or Jeff Brantley. Sick of these have nots getting the gig in Cincy since the days of piniella, daveyJ, etcx
I like FreddyB tho, toooooooooooooooo
if Eric Davis comes back as a coach, who gets number 44?
Overdue move, but there is no joy in whoville tonight.
double switch: Larkin to the dugout, Joey Votto to the booth
I think they evaluated the look on his face in the 8th inning of tonight's game. I knew he was gone then. Skip Schumacher..
would expect Joey to be in a booth somewhere.
would hope Barry could demand (and get) a veteran innings-eating starter and a middle-of-the-order corner OF bat at the very least.
David Bell seems to be a very very good man . He just sucks as a manager.. You either have it or you don’t . They kept him on one season to long.
"We have to look like we're trying." "Yeah. What do we do?" "Hhmm…. let's fire our manager on an NFL Sunday before the season ends!" "Perfect idea. But wait…we get to keep our positions, right?" "Well….yeah!" – Phil Castellini talking to Nick Krall
Johnny bench? Tony perez ?
Larkin is the man
You never want to see another man lose his job, but man, this was needed. Hopefully Bell can find another coaching gig somewhere else to take care of his family.
