Inbox: Will Reds remove Riggleman's interim tag?

What are the chances of Jim Riggleman staying as manager next year?
-- @BrianHaitz, via Twitter

It certainly doesn't hurt Riggleman's chances that the team has played better under his watch. The Reds are 13-17 since he took over after a 3-15 start under Bryan Price. Riggleman deserves some credit -- he's managed aggressively like there's nothing to lose, handled the bullpen well amid quick hooks for starters and has an attention to detail. Getting Scott Schebler and Eugenio Suarez back from injuries also helped.

But president of baseball of operations Dick Williams and general manager Nick Krall might want the chance to hire their own guy.
