Well, the season is over the Reds finished at 77-85. They fired their manager David Bell with about 2 weeks left in the season. There will be a lot decisions to be made that will affect the organization for years to come. I look forward to seeing it. To me nothing is better than opening day in Cincinnati. Go Reds!!

70 wins in 2025, maybe. Nothing will change with the Reds until the entire ownership group is bought out.

I bet you're a delight at your plant parties.

If, as is being reported, Terry Francona is coming out of retirement to manage the Reds, then that’s a best-case scenario. He’s a proven winner as a manager, should be a perfect fit in Cincy. Now it’ll be time for all that young talent to either produce or move along. If injuries don’t kill them next year like they did this year, I’ll say 85-90 wins, and at the very least a playoff berth.

Excellent hire getting Francona!
With a hire like this, all this tells me is that ownership is willing to go all in and spend some money this off-season in free agency. Plus with the young talent this team has, if they can stay healthy.
Exciting times in Cinci!

And plant guy is wrong, yet again. How many times can one guy be so wrong without beginning to question his purpose on Earth?
It's clear now why they fired Bell with just a few games remaining in the season. They wanted to lock up Tito before he had other suitors knocking at his door. Now, go out and get a big thumper!!! Juan Soto loves Tito... Just sayin'.

Hiring a grandpa that had one playoff run in 11 years at his last job big improvement. Over spend for same results.
This is all for show, hire a big name from the past so you can say, well we tried, when it dont work out.
