Cincinnati Reds: Firing Turner Ward shows commitment to winning in 2020
The Cincinnati Reds have parted ways with hitting coach Turner Ward. While his credentials spoke for themselves, the results didn’t translate to the field.
When Turner Ward was hired to be the Cincinnati Reds prior to the 2019 season, fans reacted with great joy. After all, Ward had helped lead the Los Angeles Dodgers offense to back-to-back World Series appearances. However, his history with Dodgers didn’t translate to the Reds and Ward will not return in 2020. This should send a clear message to the fans; the Reds want to win.
