The team will conduct a search for a permanent replacement later in the year.
It's the earliest in a season, yes, that the Cincinnati Reds have fired their manager. But Bryan Price was the team's skipper for 666 games. Where does that rank in Reds history?
Only nine - including Hall of Famers Sparky Anderson, Bill McKechnie and Buck Ewing as well as (more recently) Dusty Baker and Pete Rose - have lasted longer as Reds manager than Price.
The list of managers Price outlasted (with number of games as Reds manager) includes Dave Bristol (565), Jack McKeon (551), John McNamara (524), Lou Piniella (486), Bob Boone (428) and Davey Johnson (377).
