We started out as a playoff team, it fell apart, we went through a typical MLB rebuild, now Castellini is showing how willing he is to open his wallet with the signings of Moustakas (4 years, $64 million), Castellanos (also 4 years, $64 million), Akiyama (3 years, $21 million) and Wade Miley (2 years, $15 million).
Basically, Castellini went "all-in" on 2020. I've never seen Mike Brown go all-in once in 25 years.
The Reds are now viewed as contenders after their improvement last year, the moves just made, as well as the trade for Trevor Bauer last year:

Bauer, Moustakas and Miley were all members of World Series teams.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
