Like I said at the beginning of the season, this team has no depth. Only a few injuries to starters would obviously cause the ship to sink quickly. Every team deals with injuries, the lack of depth is squarely on management.
As a Reds fan, I’m thoroughly enjoying this season. A total detonation is exactly what is needed to clean house in the horrendous front office and if we are lucky, force ownership to sell.
Kelly is deep into the back nine of his career. He was looking for one last big payday before retirement. ND was going to be done with him in 2024 regardless, so he bolted when his stock was at a high point.
