The Reds announced this morning that they?ve fired manager Bryan Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins. Bench coach Jim Riggleman will assume managerial duties on an interim basis, while Triple-A skipper Pat Kelly will take over Riggleman?s duties as bench coach. Double-A pitching coach Danny Darwin has also been added to the Major League coaching staff as well. The Reds will conduct a search for a permanent managerial replacement ?later in the year,? the team added.
Entering the season, Price was widely speculated to be on the hot seat. The 55-year-old former Reds pitching coach was entering his fifth season as manager in Cincinnati, but the Reds had opted only to exercise his 2018 club option rather than extend him to a longer team deal.
