On July 20, 1916, Mathewson's career came full circle when he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds along with [[Edd Roush]]. He was immediately named as the Reds' [[player-manager (baseball)|player-manager]]. However, for all intents and purposes, his playing career was over. He appeared in only one game as a pitcher for the Reds, on September 4, 1916. He faced Brown in the second half of a doubleheader, which was billed as the final meeting between the two old baseball warriors. The high-scoring game was a win for Mathewson's Reds over Brown's Cubs, 10–8.<ref name="Okrent">{{cite book|last1=Okrent|first1=Daniel|title=The Ultimate Baseball Book|date=1988|publisher=Hilltown Press|location=United States|isbn=0395361451|pages=80}}</ref>

Mathewson retired as a player after the season and managed the Reds for the entire 1917 season and the first 118 games of 1918, compiling a total record of 164–176 as a manager.<ref name="Okrent" />
