The Cincinnati Reds have had a successful turnaround under interim manager Jim Riggleman. But, that success, unless it leads to a miraculous postseason berth, should not impact the Reds search for a new manager.
I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve been as guilty as anyone over the last couple weeks in celebrating the Reds’ recent success. Taking nothing away from the Reds’ 10 wins in their last 13 games, their record remains 32-46. That’s third-worst in the National League and seventh in Major League Baseball.
Again, I want to take nothing away from the job that Jim Riggleman and his staff has done.
