CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds have fired manager David Bell, the team announced Sunday night.
Bell, 52, was in his sixth season as the Reds manager. He went 409-456 in those six years with just one playoff appearance, in the COVID-shortened 2020 season when the team lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Atlanta Braves.
The Reds are 76-81 this season following Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Bench coach Freddie Benavides will serve as the interim manager for the final five games of the season.
