MLB Rumors: Skip Schumaker, David Ross Eyed by Reds to Replace David Bell as Manager
The Cincinnati Reds are targeting multiple options to fill the team's vacancy at manager.
According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, former Miami Marlins skipper Skip Schumaker is Cincinnati's "No. 1 target" for the position. Former Chicago Cubs manager David Ross is also "expected" to receive an interview with the team.
The Reds fired former manager David Bell on Sept. 22 in the midst of an underwhelming season that saw the team miss the postseason for the fourth consecutive year. With 85 losses, Cincinnati will also finish with a worse record than the team's 82-80 mark in 2023.
