1914 Cincinnati Reds season

After the 1913 season, Reds owner Garry Herrmann, unhappy with the poor performance of the club, challenged his manager Joe Tinker on his managerial style and sought his resignation.

On December 12, the Reds acquired Buck Herzog and Grover Hartley from the New York Giants in exchange for Bob Bescher.

Notable players that left Cincinnati were Dave Davenport, Mordecai Brown, Harry Chapman, and Armando Marsans to the St. Louis Terriers, Chief Johnson to the Kansas City Packers and George Suggs to the Baltimore Terrapins.

Heinie Groh led the team with a .288 batting average, and had two home runs and 32 RBI in 139 games.

Player-manager Buck Herzog batted .281 with one home run and 40 RBI with a team high 46 stolen bases in 138 games in his first season in Cincinnati.
