According to a report by Mark Sheldon, the Reds have agreed to a one-year extension with manager Bryan Price. The contract also comes with a one-year team option for 2018.
If you’ve been a faithful reader of Redleg Nation, this development should come as no surprise to you. I wrote several weeks ago that a one-year extension, though unusual, in this case might fit the needs of both parties.
The decision by the Reds makes it crystal clear they expect the 2017 season to be another rebuilding year. It’s hard to disagree with that conclusion.
