The Reds will go in-house to replace Dusty Baker, as Bob Nightengale of USA
Today reports that pitching coach Bryan Price is expected to be named as
manager tomorrow. FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal and John Fay of the Cincinnati
Enquirer are hearing the same.
While there were rumblings about Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, former Nationals
manager Jim Riggleman, and Cubs third base coach David Bell being candidates
for the job, Price was always considered the favorite. Regarded as one of the
best pitching coaches in the game, he has been with the Reds since 2010 and
previously held the same position with the Mariners (2000-2005) and
Diamondbacks (2006-2009). Rosenthal reports that Price was also a candidate
for the Mariners’managerial vacancy.
The Reds could be in for big changes this winter with Shin-Soo Choo and
Bronson Arroyo hitting free agency and Brandon Phillips reportedly on the
trading block, but Price will inherit a very talented team for his first
managerial gig.
