Seasons

The Cincinnati Reds' 2007 season has been completed, and the Cincinnati Reds finished out of playoff contention.

Following an 11–7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on July 1, general manager Wayne Krivsky fired manager Jerry Narron and named advance scout Pete Mackanin interim manager. It was the second managerial change of the day, following the resignation of Seattle Mariners skipper Mike Hargrove. The Reds won Mackanin's first game at the helm, 7–3 over the San Francisco Giants on the strength of a grand slam by Brandon Phillips.

The season also included highlights such as the Red's 2004 first-round draft pick, Homer Bailey, and right-handed starting pitcher, making his MLB debut against the Indians on June 8. He pitched 5 innings, gave up 2 earned runs, struck out 3, and walked 4.

• November 20, 2006: Mike Stanton was signed as a free agent.
• December 7, 2006: Josh Hamilton was purchased by the Reds from the Chicago Cubs.
