Truly one of, if not THE most dumbest & idiotic front office/ownership groups in sports.
It's getting tougher to believe that the Cincinnati #Reds will ever commit to winning.
It wasn't the lack of signing Kyle Schwarber that leads us here, but the reasoning that they were willing to sign him that is actually a part of the problem

The Cincinnati Reds failure to sign Kyle Schwarber was an indirect line to the thought process of the front office and the problems with it.

Wonder what faded star/injury prone player the Reds will go after this offseason, after being “all in on Kyle Schwarber but it just didn’t work out”

Grossly misleading. There’s wealth and there’s annual operating income. Reds ownership gets wealthier as their shares appreciate by 10% annually. Their conservative “break even” budgeting regards operating income. They won’t/don’t put a penny of their new wealth (> +$1billion) ‘back into’ the team.
Krall: “Our ownership group puts everything back into the team every year. They try to figure out how to break even every year. That’s how we budget. We’re trying to figure out how to best utilize that budget for the big league club.”
Nick Krall and Terry Francona weren’t divulging much about the Reds efforts to land free agent Kyle Schwarber. www.mlb.com/reds/news/ni...

Kyle Schwarber being a Cincinnati Red was a pipe dream anyway.

Been kind of on a Stephen King kick lately. I read The Shining last month, that was my first book of his I have read. Currently reading Salem’s Lot and am REALLY enjoying that. IT will be the next. Can’t wait to read his other works!

Death By Lightning and Ken Burns’s The American Revolution being released around the same time as each other, makes this history buff’s heart so happy!

I gotta say, with how shitty the season has been, I do appreciate having Joe Flacco around. He brings a positive presence. The offense, in general, is at least watchable.

Bengals may have had more success in recent years than the Reds have, but neither franchise’s ownership & Front Offices deserve benefit of the doubt.
This is how they operate.
