General manager Larry MacPhail insisted that Redland Field be renamed in honor of the man who had saved the team.
On November 15, 1933, the Reds traded second baseman George Grantham to the New York Giants in exchange for pitcher Glenn Spencer.
His best season was in 1930, when Comorosky hit .313 with 12 home runs, 119 RBI and leading the league with 23 triples and 33 sacrifice bunts.
Less than a week later, on November 23, the Reds selected shortstop Gordon Slade off of waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals.
On January 11, the Reds traded away recently acquired Glenn Spencer to the St. Louis Cardinals for catcher Bob O'Farrell and pitcher Syl Johnson.
The rebuilding Reds struggled to begin the season, winning only five of their first 24 games to quickly find themselves in last place.
On May 12, in a game against the Boston Braves, player/manager Bob O'Farrell submitted a lineup card with the last names of his starting nine in alphabetical order,[1] the only time this has happened in MLB history.
Less than a week later, the Reds traded Ruble to the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League for outfielder Harlin Pool.
In July, Cincinnati acquired infielder Alex Kampouris from the Sacramento Senators of the Pacific Coast League.
After a win of 11–2 over the Chicago Cubs on July 28, the Reds named former player Chuck Dressen as manager.
Outfielder Harlin Pool, who was acquired by the Reds during the season, led the team with a .327 batting average while hitting two home runs and 50 RBI in 99 games.
First baseman Jim Bottomley hit .284 with 11 home runs, a team high 78 RBI and 11 triples, in 142 games.
