The St. Louis Cardinals once welcomed Mike Matheny as their manager. In his squad was David Bell who served as both assistant hitting coach and bench coach before leaving for the San Francisco Giants organization.
As of Sunday, or rather as of an announced press conference on Monday, Bell will be named the next manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
As of Sunday, despite reports that Matheny would be atop several of the lists for managerial vacancies, Matheny’s name is apparently nowhere near any list for managerial vacancy.
The news on Bell is not surprising.
