We’re four days into the new Reds season and it feels like there’s been as much to talk about as there was all of last season. Let’s face it, the 2020 Reds had all of the optimism of a contending team with a wide open division, but were not really a fun baseball team. They got off to a slow start, and spent the entire year chomping at the bit to get back in contention. The most notable thing to happen to the Reds in 2020 was the TV announcer dropping a homophobic slur on live television, and that team made the playoffs with a pitcher that won the Cy Young award.
