The Cincinnati Reds have missed the playoffs once again after an injury-plagued 2024. Manager David Bell has been fired after six years as the Reds’ bench boss, according to a team release. Bench coach Freddie Benavides is the interim manager.

The Reds had a great 2023 campaign, winning 82 games but missing the playoffs once again. The win total was the highest since 2013 and their young core led to high expectations. Bell was given a contract extension that took him through 2026 after last season. Now, less than 162 games into that deal, he is gone.

President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall will be speaking to the media on Monday morning, a scheduled off-day for the team. They wrap up their season with road games against the Guardians and Cubs. They must win each of their remaining five games to reach .500 for the second straight season.
