We went from the owner's friend being GM, to another owner's son, and hired a FO guy's son to be manager. All of them terrible.

This is the 16th season under Castellini. They have had a winning record in just 4 seasons under him (3 if you don't count the 31-29 season last year). They have won 0 playoff series and they have had 3 of the most embarrassing showings in modern playoff memory. (No-hitter sweep in 2010, lost 3 straight at home in 2012, series shutout sweep in 2020.)

Their drafting is atrocious, too. Can you name one great Reds player that they have drafted and developed since 2008 (when Walt first took over and Bob C finished crony-ing up)?

Super easy to judge that resume.

Winker?

But fair points, I just feel like they at least try more then the team that is a few blocks away and they have to live in a world where guys they do find and develop like Cueto, leave them for the big money.

Speaking of baseball drafts, is there any sport that has less return on 1st round picks then baseball?
