Happy New Year!
You can't exactly chalk up 2015 as one of the better years in Cincinnati Reds history. Lump in December of 2014, and the last 13 months have seen the team ship out Mat Latos, Alfredo Simon, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Ben Lively, Marlon Byrd, Jason Marquis, Jason Marquis, Jason Marquis, Jason Marquis, Jason Marquis, Kevin Gregg, Jason Marquis, Todd Frazier, and the wretch that had become Aroldis Chapman. Gone with them went much of the memory of the most recent good times, and a 98 loss season ensued.
