As we tore off the final August page from The Far Side calendar on the desk at Red Reporter Headquarters this week, something felt decidedly different.
We weren’t looking at the order of the 2022 MLB Draft. We honestly kind of missed the announcement of the September call-ups, all two of them. We hadn’t even settled on a date for our Fantasy Football draft.

At 72-63, the Reds hold the second Wild Card spot in the National League playoff chase at the moment, but it’s a perilous position.
