Managerial career[edit]

On April 20, 2015, Price went on angry, expletive-filled rant to a gathering of the Cincinnati media before a 6-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers over reporters leaking undisclosed developments about players that he believed would put his team at a competitive disadvantage.^[6] In particular, he was upset that a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter saw catcher Devin Mesoraco on his flight, and then tweeted the catcher wasn't available to play during a game in St. Louis because of injury.^[7] In the rant, Price used the variations of the word "fuck" 77 times. The Cincinnati Enquirer's official website post an edited audio version of the rant but later removed it.^[6] The audio was later uploaded independently to the internet and re-posted by Deadspin.^[6] On October 3, 2015, it was announced that Price will remain as manager of the Reds for 2016.
