And that's the problem. The Reds have refused to either go all-in or fold for the past 20+ years.
They've never even done a real rebuild because they wait until their player value craters before trading it away.
After all these years, the Chapman trade continues to aggravate me more than any of them because he was such a premium talent. They should have kept him, allowed the situation to play out and landed a premium prospect at the deadline. The problem is when you force your GM to trade a guy when he's essentially untradeable, you're going to get garbage in return.
I don't care what Bob wants. I want him to sell the team to somebody that is committed to winning and isn't going to interfere in baseball-related activities. I don't care if it's a guy that's going to come in and throw big money around or a guy that wants to model the Reds after the Indians, Rays, etc. Just have and commit to an organizational strategy.
