Reds Fire Manager David Bell Amid Season of Underperformance

Cincinnati Reds President Nick Krall cites poor fundamentals and lack of discipline as key reasons for managerial change.

David Bell was dismissed as Reds manager due to issues with accountability, discipline, and fundamental execution.
Bench coach Freddie Benavides will serve as interim manager while the search for a permanent replacement begins.
Krall emphasized the need for improved decision-making and development among the team's young players.
The Reds struggled with poor baserunning and defense, contributing to their 76-81 record and elimination from playoff contention.
Potential candidates for the managerial position include Terry Francona, David Ross, and Barry Larkin, though no formal list has been compiled yet.
