This quote from Wikipedia made me chuckle.
At the time of Castellini's takeover, five consecutive losing seasons was the worst stretch in the Reds' previous 50 years.
Since Castellini's takeover, the Reds actually BROKE that stretch: 2014-2019 (6 seasons).
The COVID-shortened year ended up breaking that streak, finishing at a measly 31-29.
In fact, the Reds haven't finished a season 5+ games over .500 since 2013's 90-win season, which was Dusty's last.
Do the Reds need to go out and find a proven GM like they had with Walt now that they have a proven winning manager from prior teams?
I knew it was bad, but didn’t expect it to be that bad.
