BREAKING: Bob Castellini asked his own front office a question this season that Reds fans have been asking for years.

“Why aren’t we the Brewers?”

Nick Krall’s answer, according to reporting from Ken Rosenthal and C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, was to show ownership the trades it would not make.

The same story says the Castellinis plan to keep Krall and general manager Brad Meador after another last-place finish.

The Brewers spent about what the Reds spent and kept winning.

The Reds have not won a playoff game since 2012. They have not won more than 90 games since 2013. Milwaukee is heading back to October again.

So whose problem is that? Can you run a small-market club like the Brewers if ownership will not trade players at peak value?

And if the owner asked the question, why is the front office the only group that ever gets put on trial?

C. Trent Rosecrans, Reds all-time saves leader Danny Graves, and Mason Estep of Reds Daily break down The Athletic’s reporting and what it means for the Cincinnati Reds.

BREAKING: The Reds are eliminated and will miss the playoffs for the 16th time since the Castellini's took over the team and promised championship baseball in a letter to Reds fans over twenty years ago.

As fans and members of the media debate who's to blame, pointing fingers at different levels of the Cincinnati Reds organization, something funny happens when you zoom out a little bit and think.

Can you blame today's crew for decades of issues?

What if the crew has turned over and been completely replaced multiple times?

Long time Reds beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans, Reds all-time saves leader Danny Graves, and Mason Estep of Reds Daily discuss the current state of the Cincinnati Reds franchise in today's episode.

BREAKING: There are two things Cincinnati Reds fans are familiar with: pain and early offseasons.

True to form, the Cincinnati Reds announced multiple transactions before Sunday's loss against the Chicago Cubs that as fans you never want to hear and for different reasons for both.

Chase Burns was placed on the injured list, which frankly was cautious and well done. TJ Friedl was designated for assignment much to the frustration of fans as multiple months past due.
