Walt Jocketty Not Waiting On Dave Duncan, Reds Hire New Pitching Coach

It puts to rest the intrigue over whether the Reds might try to hire St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, who had expressed his displeasure with the Cardinals brass for how the trade of his son, Chris, was handled and for not seeking his input into developing pitching in the minor leagues.

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Saturday he had the sense that Duncan was going to stay in St.Louis, and the Reds felt very good about being able to land Price and didn’t want to string out that hire any longer.
