Oh, 100% agreement. The Reds suck and the #1 overall pick (which they probably won't land, the MLB is starting a draft lottery in 2023, so they will have somewhere between the 1st and 7th picks if they're the worst team in baseball) and even if they had a Griffey Jr or Harper, ownership would find a way to screw it up. Just look at Votto. Future Hall of Famer, has been a Red for 16 years, the Reds have been to the postseason just 3 times (I don't count 1 game wildcards as the postseason, that's a play-in game) and one of those 3 were expanded playoffs in a shortened season with a 31-29 record. Zero playoff series wins.

Don't even get me started on what the Angels have done with Mike Trout's career over there in LA. Lol

I guess what I am trying to get at is that as long as you have an awful owner, it's going to be near impossible to win regardless of generational talents. That is regardless of sport. It took Mike Brown starting to GTFOutta the way for the Bengals to finally sign talent in FA and win some playoff games. Sell the team Bob.
