The Cincinnati Reds announced a number of staff changes on Monday afternoon.

Willie Harris has been promoted to third base coach. Harris served as the manager of Cincinnati's Low-A affiliate, the Daytona Tortugas, in 2025. The Tortugas made a run in the playoffs before falling in the championship.

Bill Haselman has been named catching coach. Haselman served as the Red Sox's interim first base coach in 2004 under manager Terry Francona. He last coached with the Angels in 2023.

Mike Napoli has been promoted to assistant bench coach. Napoli joined Cincinnati's staff when Francona was hired as manager last offseason.

Bench coach Brad Mills has decided to retire. The 68-year-old has worked as Francona’s bench coach at nearly every stop in his career. He served as the Houston Astros manager from 2010 to 2012 and also spent time with the Phillies, Expos, Red Sox, Guardians, and Reds.

Mills joined Cincinnati's staff when Francona was hired.
