The offseason has almost come to an end. In just twelve days, Reds pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training. Although the Reds almost certainly won’t be good this season, baseball still will be played. There will be dingers, there will be exciting wins, and there will be heartbreaking losses. The Reds’ farm system represents a glimmer of hope for the future, and watching key members of the next competitive Reds team develop will be exciting (even if it’s not as many as it should be.)
Even in a season so widely viewed as meaningless, there will be surprises.
