Thu May 10 201821:25Red alert: Harvey starts Friday for Cincy at Dodger Stadium
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds aren't wasting any time showing off their new acquisition.Matt Harvey will start for Cincinnati on Friday night in the second game of their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Interim manager Jim Riggleman said Harvey could pitch a couple innings or the right-hander could go four, but he will be limited because of his lack of recent game competition."He's healthy and ready to go, so we'll just put him out there," Riggleman said.Harvey was in Newport Beach working out at a facility owned by his agent Scott Boras and made the drive up to Dodger Stadium to join his new team on Thursday.He was acquired from the New York Mets for catcher Devin Mesoraco and cash on Tuesday. Harvey was 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA in eight games, including four starts, for the Mets this season before they cut him."I'm excited to help this team any way I can and I'm excited to get the ball," Harvey said in the visitors' dugout after working out on the field.General manager Dick...

Thu Apr 19 201817:48Reds fire manager Bryan Price after 3-15 start
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds' worst start since the Great Depression prompted a quick hook for Bryan Price.Cincinnati fired its fifth-year manager on Thursday because of a 3-15 start, the first managerial change in the major leagues this season. The Reds hadn't changed managers so early in a season since Tony Perez was fired after 44 games in 1993.It's the first time since 2002 that a manager has been fired in April, according to ESPN. Four managers were fired that April, including Phil Garner after an 0-6 start with the Tigers that matched the quickest hook in major league history.Price managed a rebuilding effort that relied on rookies more than any other team in the majors during his tenure. The Reds have lost at least 94 games in each of the last three seasons while finishing last in the NL Central.Although the Reds have been patient with their coaching staff during the rebuild, their worst start since 1931 prompted the change."We felt we had to act now, we couldn't afford to wait," general...

They were 279-387 under Price, who got the job when Dusty Baker was fired after the 2013 season for failing to get beyond the first round of the playoffs.The Reds suffered significant injuries during spring training and got off to their worst start since the Great Depression while drawing...
