This comes as no surprise to many who follow the game. Price&#8217;s career record is 279-387 since becoming manager in 2014. The Reds have been in somewhat of a rebuild for the past few years, but this does not exclude Price from being held responsible for the team&#8217;s record. Price took over as manager after <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bakerdu01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dusty Baker<\/a><\/strong> was fired after losing the Wild Card game to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> in 2013. The Reds shared news of the announcement on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Reds have announced they are replacing manager Bryan Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins.

As far as a search for a new manager goes, it will probably have to wait until the end of the season. According to the Cincinnati Reds official Twitter account, &#8220;It&#8217;s premature to set a timetable for finding a new manager. We will be undergoing a thorough and exhaustive process. It makes more sense to do that towards the end of the season in order to consider external candidates&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Pitching coach <strong>Mack Jenkins<\/strong> has also been let go by the team. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/darwida01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Danny Darwin<\/a><\/strong> will be acting as the pitching coach going forward.
