I am usually not as critical of the Reds front office as others.  They have actually made quite a few moves and paid out a lot of money over the last few years.  So they are not as cheap and lazy as some fans claim.  They have just made some bad moves and had some bad luck.

But I have no idea why they paid Minor $18 million over 2 years.  Even if they thought they might be contending as soon as next year Minor is 34 and on the way down.  He has not had an ERA under 5.00 since 2019.
