Cincinnati Reds History

2021: 3rd in NL Central, (47-115)
In spite of an improvement of 25 games in the win column, the are a team in turmoil.  The 2021 season saw two different GMs abandon the team.  The team is in the throes of a rebuild, but has some available cap to improve it's roster during the 2022 free agency period.  Hopefully, the will find a GM who is willing to commit to bringing the team to a competitive level.

2020: 6th in Central Division (22-36)
The showed some signs of improvement in 2020.  With the revival of Maikel Franco and the emergence of Kyle Tucker, the have some assets to build around.  Pitching is a major area of need, so it has to be an area of emphasis if the hope to be competitive in the NL Central.

2019: 4th in NL Central, (23-139)
The continued their slide, but managed to move up one place in the standings.  With an aging Albert Pujols, an underperforming Maikel Franco, and a host of depth type players, the need an infusion of talent to reach a more competitive level.

2018: 5th in NL Central, (46-116)
Cahler, alias Doubleyou, took over the team for about five months, but hightailed it out of Dodge before the start of the season.  Frankbullsfan stepped in and took over the team, but with offseason free agency practically over, he was not able to add much to his roster.  Consequently, the sank to the depths of the NL Central and were able to win only half as much as the previous season.

2017: 4th in NL Central, (92-70)
No janesvilleas, enter TarHeels55, a ProFSL veteran, as the latest GM.  Experience is a great teacher, and the team showed improvement, but there was no climb in the standings.  Unfortunately, the revolving door continued as there was another resignation at the end of the season.  As such, until there is some stability, the team will continue to flounder.

2016: 4th in NL Central, (28-128)
There was a little improvement, and as frustrations grew, GM jblum decided to resign at the end of the season.  The team is still spinning its wheels and underperforming, so at season’s end, the decided to turn the team over to janesvilleas, but that decision was ill-fated, as the new GM left the following February.

2015: 4th in NL Central, (12-78)
The bottom fell out in 2015.  The win total fell to only 15 and the road to success seemed to be a dead end metaphorically.  The hitters were not competitive and the rotation took a step backward.  What will the future bring?  As the old saying goes, “Only time will tell.”

2014: 4th in NL Central, (61-80)
The had another GM change, the third in three years, and the team was taken over by jblum.  The changeover had little effect, as the experienced a win-loss total of -19, and the team was relegated to 4th place in the NL Central.

2013: 5th in NL Central, (83-77)
A new GM, spacemountain2000, same overall result.  The win total improved to +6, but the still languished at the bottom of the NL Central.  The roster featured a strong pitching staff, but with the exception of Brandon Belt, the everyday lineup left much to be desired.

2012: 4th in NL Central, (51-90)
The can’t seem to get off the ground, so there was an upper management decision to allow Dan Wood to move on to another team at the end of the season.  As in the past, the team struggled again and remained in the lower echelons of the league. 

2011: 5th in NL Central, (47-94)
The added SPs Shaun Marcum and Zach Britton, and they did well, but the everyday lineup, besides Ike Davis and Josh Hamilton, didn’t fare as well.  The win total slipped and, consequently, the team slipped in the standings.

2010: 4th in NL Central, (12-10)
The virtually duplicated the previous season, although they did finish above .500.  With Josh Hamilton and Justin Upton in their everyday lineup, it would seem that they are developing a good core to build around.


2009: 4th in NL Central, (75-87)
In the inaugural season of Franchise GM, GM Dan Wood was only able to guide his team to a sub .500 record.  The 4th place finish means that there is room for improvement if the are going to climb into playoff contention.
