Stop making stuff up just so you will have a reason to whine.
Right, and it was evident from the get go that most of those guys were short term rentals. Lo and behold they were! Of those three "good starting pitchers" Gray's been good, Roark was average, and Wood just recently got into his first game of the year (and is only under contract through the end of this season). What exactly did those moves accomplish? It moved the Reds from "completely terrible" to "bad". For all the talk of how the Reds aren't that far out of it, they still have only the 20th best record in baseball right now. They're barely out of the bottom third of the league.
You don't really consider that an example of the Reds going all-in on winning, do you? And you expect any different this offseason?
