Reds Trade And Free Agent Rumours 2023-24 Offseason

[MoneyInTheBank]

Let me see if I can build a bridge here because I don't think we are that different.

I think we can all agree that goal #1, every year, is to make the playoffs. You can't win the World Series without making the playoffs. That's just science. And repeatedly making the playoffs is a good start to eventually breaking through. Now, that doesn't mean build the worst possible team you can and still make the playoffs but I think there are merits to not overextending your assets (whether that is prospect capital or budget) to make a short term push to "think we can win a World Series" if it will jeopardize the following 3-4 playoff appearances.

I feel like I do need the disclaimer here that I do think this year's version has plenty of budget and enough position player prospect capital that they can push into that repeatedly making the playoffs tier
