I will say this, if the Reds go through another 2014-2018 stretch where they are that awful and aren’t really trying without having a couple winning seasons and serious playoff runs before they go through another 5 year tanking cycle, I think I’m probably going to completely lose interest.
The league desperately needs to change something up to de-incentivize tanking, it’s not good for the sport to have half the teams in baseball giving up before the season even starts.
