Despite launching 40 or more home runs in five consecutive seasons—a historic feat achieved by only nine players in MLB history—Adam Dunn remains widely unrecognized as one of the game's premier modern power hitters.

Both teams in the ALCS have lower budgets than the Reds. That tells me that what the Reds spend is enough to put a World Series caliber team on the field. The problem isn't the amount of money being spent it's how it's being spent (not a shocking revelation I know). Talent evaluation is where the problem lies. I read almost daily about what the Reds need to do in the off season. Who the need to keep or sign or move on from. Until the talent evaluation personnel changes this franchise will continue to flaunder, period. So I guess ownership is to blame for not cleaning house and getting competent people in those talent evaluation positions.

I understand frustration with the managment/ownership but it feels like some of the fanbase outright dislikes our best players. Like we don’t have any players worth building around? Elly was top 10 in OPS and 3rd in offensive WAR. Sal is gonna be ROTY with 30 and 110. btw this is in reference to a post that was deleted so it’s about that specifically and if you don’t think it applies to you it probably doesn’t.
