Reds fire manager David Bell during sixth season after just 1 playoff appearance
Bell, 52, was in his sixth season as the Reds manager. He was given a three-year contract extension through the 2026 season last July. 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.
