The Cincinnati Reds have been on ice since Sunday, last Saturday’s elimination from playoff contention in the penultimate game of the 2023 season having really been the death knell of this season. Out here where I live, the morning lows have begun to dip into the upper 30s, and this past week saw the first glances of snow on the peaks just over my shoulder.
The playoffs are heating up. So, too, is the hot stove that will enthrall us all as the Reds look to get out of the not-playoffs and into the more fun portion of the baseball season in 2024.
