The Reds have not renewed Pitching Coach Dick Pole’s contract. Obviously, the best name in baseball.
“As an organization, we feel that Dick has done a good job, at this point, but we felt going forward we needed to make a change and leave it at that,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “We really don’t have a clear candidate. We’re going to formulate a list and try to find the right guy to be with this organization for a long time. We’ve got some good young pitchers coming along and we’d like to make sure we have the right guy to develop them as they come through. It was a difficult decision.”
The rest of the Reds coaching staff has been retained for next season. I am not sure if that is good or bad.
