I'm a bit late starting this, but the Reds don't offer much motivation. Feel free to discuss all things baseball here.

The Reds may be bad, but being the worst team in baseball that's probably moving to Las Vegas in the next few seasons is way worse. I guess if you follow the A's from Montana, the team moving might not be an issue and if anything it may motivate them to try and be competitive.

They have 9 World Series titles. Maybe none in the last 34 years, but that's still better than Cleveland or the Cubs.

Oh, there's no doubt that they're a storied franchise that has kicked ass and deserves better.  But what ownership has done in the last decade is pretty deplorable.

And Cubs fans don't get to complain.  Winning a title = moratorium on complaining for at least 20 years.

This also perfectly describes the Reds over the last 10 years or so.

The National League looks wide open. Things could be interesting at the trade deadline, especially for the teams close to a wild card spot.
