There’s a theme apparent in the latest disastrous Cincinnati Reds season

The Cincinnati Reds concluded the 21st regular season under their current ownership, which was established by the Castellini family. The ownership group aimed to bring championship baseball to Cincinnati with their five-point plan. However, after 21 seasons, it is evident that they have either been dishonest or unsuccessful in achieving their goal.

The team has not made it to the World Series or won any titles. They have not reached the National League Championship Series or made it to the playoffs since 1995, and they have not won a home playoff game in their own park since 1995 either. The Reds have not won a playoff game in Cincinnati for 31 years. Frank Viola, who turned 66 years old this year, played on the team that last won a playoff game in Cincinnati, in a stadium that was destroyed 25 years ago.

The Reds have become one of the least respected organizations in baseball and have not rekindled the Reds Nation spirit. Instead, they have rested while being unhappy. A suggestion is to sell the team to someone else.
