I know that won't be popular but they just can't compete with the Dodgers and Angels and Yankees and Red Sox who can buy their way out of mistakes. When they screw up on a contract like Bailey's which might have been before the new owners I'd have to check, it really screws them for years.

It sucks, but it is just the world of baseball

Real easy to judge an ownership group regardless of salary cap or not when they keep hiring their buddies and family and the team keeps losing. 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? (Winker might finally break that drafting futility streak, we'll see.)

Super easy to judge that resume.
