Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson shared his thoughts on the decision to fire manager David Bell. He thanked Bell for helping him grow as a player, but acknowledged that a new manager could bring a fresh vibe. "We’ve got the pieces," he said via Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer. "We’ve got talent.”

Be careful what you wish for? Look no further than the Chicago Cubs for an example of a sure-thing managerial change that hasn't changed team results.
