The Houston Astros and Washington Nationals kick off Game 1 of the World Series tonight from Minute Maid Park. Unfortunately for Reds Country, fans in the Queen City haven’t seen a World Series Championship since 1990. What will it take for the Cincinnati Reds to become World Series contenders heading into 2020?
Despite finishing the 2019 season with a record below .500, the Reds put a good product on the field and showed a lot of promise. The pitching staff was greatly improved, especially the starting rotation. Luis Castillo established himself as a legitimate ace and the acquisition of Sonny Gray proved to be well worth what the team gave up in return.
