The Cincinnati Reds got a jump-start on planning for the 2025 season with Sunday's firing of manager David Bell, and it figures to be an attractive opening given the team's star-studded young core.

Former Reds player Skip Schumaker has been installed as the 2/1 favorite by one sportsbook to be the team's next manager. Schumaker won the National League Manager of the Year Award in 2023 and is expected to be a coveted name once his contract expires despite the terrible season his Miami Marlins have endured.
