Joe Girardi, the former manager of the New York Yankees and Florida Marlins, has apparently withdrawn his name from consideration to be the next manager of the Cincinnati Reds. This, most likely, puts David Bell firmly in the lead to claim the opening if he wants it.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Girardi was the Reds top choice to replace former manager Bryan Price as the club’s new skipper. Girardi withdrew from consideration, and for now, will return to his job with MLB Network. However, Rosenthal reports that Girardi would still like to manage again.
