So OK, they won in New York, but they let the Cincinnati paying customers down in a big way this 4th weekend.

I don't even want to hear play-offs.  This team is NOT a play-off team.  Should they be adding players at trade deadline, NO.  They are not a play-off team. If anything they should be dumping some payroll at trade deadline.  

Reds made money over 4th of July weekend, as they did over Memorial Day weekend.  So money was made for 2025 going forward.  However there are some who went out of their way to spend the 4th of July weekend at Reds, and they will be in no big hurry to come back.  The fans that drive from the middle of Ohio, or the middle of Kentucky or the middle of Indiana will question a return trip to Reds, and spend their holiday time doing other things.  That was some of the worst baseball ever this weekend by the Reds.  

This is NOT a play-off team, we can just forget about that in 2024.  Some of these players like Marte, I hope they aren't long contracts. Reds added some real losers this off season, and I can see why their other teams let them go.  Some of these could be traded in July if anybody wants them.  That would make their stay in Cincinnati only a few months, which the way this team is playing would be a good thing.
