The Reds flung a lot of mud at the wall in 2018. They smeared Homer Bailey hoping he’d stick around long enough to justify his long term contract. The Reds tossed a crumbled up, dried out heap of Brandon Finnegan wishing he’d come together and cling to the starting rotation. They rolled up and slung a semi cohesive handful of Sal Romano anticipating he’d develop and find a permanent role as a starting pitcher. They even picked mud up off the ground and threw it again – giving guys like Michael Lorenzen and Cody Reed another shot to adhere to a starting rotation that nobody seems to want to be a part of.
