CINCINNATI -- Completing a process that began in April, the Reds named David Bell as their new manager on Sunday and signed him to a three-year contract that runs through the 2021 season with a club option for 2022.
The Reds will formally introduce Bell at a news conference scheduled for 11 a.m. ET on Monday at Great American Ball Park.
Bell, 46, was the Giants' vice president of player development this past season and is becoming a manager in the Major Leagues for the first time. However, he does have three years of Minor League managing experience in the Reds' farm system.
