Not much has gone right for the Cincinnati Reds in recent years. Fans had become accustomed to 90 loss seasons, disappointing finishes, and empty promises from the front office. You can ask just about anyone in southwest Ohio; 2014-2018 was one of the worst stretches in team history, and being a fan was hard, if not nearly impossible sometimes.
You being traded to the Reds last December was the first good news in years. It was the first time since 2013 that I felt like the Reds actually wanted to win and were trying to get better.
