SAN FRANCISCO–Some members of the Giants organization viewed farm director David Bell as a potential successor to manager Bruce Bochy.

That perception will now change.

The Cincinnati Reds announced that Bell has been hired as the team’s next manager, leaving the Giants with another vacant position in the front office.
