Reds fans might be overlooking why this offseason is earning quiet respect

Last winter, the Cincinnati Reds made the biggest splash of the offseason by convincing future Hall of Fame manager Terry Francona to come back to the dugout. In Year 1 with Francona at the helm, the Reds returned to the playoffs for the first time in a full 162-game season since 2013.

Though they were quickly ousted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Reds fanbase was excited for the upcoming offseason, and assumed that Cincinnati's front office and ownership would look to build of their success from 2025.

It's been anything but that so far, and Reds fans are not happy about their favorite team's inaction this winter.
