There’s been surprisingly little news surrounding the future of the Cincinnati Reds managerial position as the Jim Riggleman-led club slogs unenthusiastically towards the end of the 2018 season. That changed in a hurry on Tuesday, however, as multiple sources confirmed that the Reds have, in fact, been active already on that front.
The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans and MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon both confirmed that the Reds will interview former Boston Red Sox manager (and current Reds scout) John Farrell, while also surprisingly noting that team legend Barry Larking - who has publicly pined for the job in the past - will not be interviewed for the opening at this time.
