During his 5+ seasons as the Reds’ skipper, he posted a 409-456 record, with one playoff appearance in 2020. The Reds are in desperate need of fresh leadership, and bringing in a new manager could provide just that. The question is, who will it be? Here are the top three candidates to become the Reds’ next manager.1. Barry LarkinBarry Larkin is a Cincinnati icon. Born in the city in 1964, he has spent the majority of his life in the Queen City. Larkin played at Archbishop Moeller High School, ironically the same school David Bell attended. Larkin could provide a much-needed spark to a Reds team bursting at the seams with potential. They need a manager who can lead a young core of players and guide them to the promised land—and Larkin may be just the man for the job.2. Joey VottoHow about this for an “outside the box” hire? Bringing Joey Votto back to the Reds could be a bold and brilliant move by the front office. Votto knows the organization inside and out and has a deep understanding of the modern game. During the 2023 season, his leadership was instrumental in guiding players like Jonathan India. Votto wasn’t quite finished with baseball when he retired this summer, and perhaps he could bring that elusive World Series title to Cincinnati—as a manager.3. Terry FranconaTerry Francona is a proven winner. The three-time Manager of the Year and two-time World Series Champion knows what it takes to reach the top. After stepping away from the game due to health concerns in 2023, rumors suggest that Francona is eyeing a return to baseball in 2025. With his wealth of experience and familiarity with winning, the Reds could take a chance on him to bring stability and success to a young organization and help restore winning baseball in Cincinnati.</div></body>
