You need to be realistic about where you are. Are the Reds going to get into the playoffs or pass any of the trio in front of them in the division this year? No. Have they put themselves into a position where it's any more likely to happen next year? I'd also say no, not really. So where does that leave them in 2021 and beyond when these pitchers take a walk to greener pastures?
It's like with Bengals free agency. Do I think rushing out and overpaying CJ Mosely would've brought the Bengals any closer to a championship this year? No, so they were better off not doing it and spending that money instead on re-signing Tyler Boyd (already happened) and AJ Green (will happen).
