Reds fire David Bell with 5 games left in regular season

The Cincinnati Reds have fired manager David Bell after a disappointing season, with a record of 76-81. The team named bench coach Freddie Benavides as the interim manager for the remaining five games. Bell, who had been with the team since 2019, never led them to better than third place in the division. The Reds are looking towards the future with young talent like Hunter Greene and Elly De La Cruz. The organization hopes that a new manager will help the team reach their full potential. The Reds’ offseason will now start earlier than expected as they look ahead to the 2025 season.
