Jeff Passan’s harsh critique of Reds’ Winter Meetings effort echoes fan frustration

To call the Cincinnati Reds' performance (or lack thereof) at the Winter Meetings a disappointment would be an understatement. The Reds acquired no players, failing to make a trade, signing, or even a pick in the Rule 5 Draft. Oh, but they did lose Roddery Muñoz to the Houston Astros in the latter event.

Their biggest "highlight" was coming up short in the Kyle Schwarber negotiations, ultimately offering about $25 million less than the $150 million that got the Ohio native to re-sign with the Philadelphia Phillies.

As such, it should be no surprise that ESPN's Jeff Passan called the Reds his biggest loser of the week.
