ZiPS in the Cactus League: Reds go from contenders to….?

Error 0:

One of the proposals that’s been discussed for getting Major League Baseball back on the field is to get everyone together in the greater Phoenix area and Florida to have two leagues – a Cactus League and a Grapefruit League. Over at Fangraphs, Dan Szymborski ran the ZiPS projections for each team based on the division that they would now be in based on the leaked information.

When the plan was leaked out, it wasn’t the best news for Cincinnati Reds fans. The team went from an outlook that gave them a solid chance of making the playoffs, and even a shot at contending for the National League Central division to landing in what was easily the toughest division in all of baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Angels, White Sox, and with their shared-home organization – Cleveland.
