If this sounds like a broken record it’s probably because somehow the obvious still hasn’t happened. The Cincinnati Reds are fighting for the final playoff spot in the National League. After Wednesday night’s loss they are a game back of the San Diego Padres for that final spot and just edging out the Cardinals and Phillies for that runner up spot.
The Reds aren’t a perfect team. They are a solid team with some strengths and some weaknesses. They need all of the help that they can possible get. The small upgrades on the margins might be enough.
