It's sad but all the Reds and a dozen other small market teams can hope to do is strike minors gold and compete for a couple seasons every decade or so. Then the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Astros, Angels etc. will swoop in and take all the cream away.
That's why I'm so hoping ownership will spend some $$$ on a couple top shelf pitchers and a top RH bat this offseason. Doesn't hurt to dream, does it?
Cleveland is the same size city, in the same state as us, and they have been to 3 World Series since we last won a single postseason series. They've been to the postseason 6 of the last 10 years including as division champs 5 times.
We have been to the postseason 1 time in the last 10 years, and that was at 31-29 in the COVID year where the majority of the teams in the league were allowed in. That's not because of economics, that's just an absolute trash tier ownership and FO.
