Don’t think if it as giving up. Think of it like multi-tasking. Rebuilding while rebooting. While the Reds currently sit a game behind St. Louis for first place with an 18-15 record, they face a potential dilemma of competing this year or staying true to the rebuild. There is a lot of baseball still to be played, but they just might be able to see this season through into a playoff push. There are, however, some good players with trade value who do not seem to have a place on the next Reds playoff team.
