In 2018, the Reds starting rotation had a 5.02 team ERA, fifth worst in MLB, and a 4.88 FIP, fourth worst in the league. In the off season, Reds fans started a hashtag on Twitter after the front office talked about getting the pitching. The front office stuck to their word and #gotthepitching. Adding both Sonny Gray and Tanner Roark for the first half of the season proved to be great moves. Roark wasn’t an ace, but he gave the Reds much-needed innings while posting a 4.24 ERA in 21 starts. After Roark was traded, the Reds essentially replaced Roark with Trevor Bauer.
