Dallas Green Tells of Job Offer as Manager of Reds

Former New York Yankees Manager Dallas Green says he has been offered the job as Cincinnati Reds manager, but he is uncertain whether he wants it, according to a report published today.

But Bob Quinn, the Reds’ vice president and general manager, denied today that the manager’s job has been offered to Green.

Green said from his home in West Grove, Pa., that Reds owner and President Marge Schott offered him the Reds’ job. But Green said he has reservations about accepting it.

Quinn said by telephone from San Francisco that no one has been offered the manager’s job.

“We haven’t offered the job to any particular person as yet,” Quinn told radio station WSAI. “I intend to talk with Dallas and have talked with Dallas, but the job certainly has not been offered.”
