The Reds have a bigger problem than losing games and it should scare them into action

The Cincinnati Reds face a crisis beyond their on-field struggles: they haven't won a playoff series since 1995 and will likely miss the playoffs for the 11th time in 13 seasons. An entire generation of fans has grown up without witnessing postseason success, and the organization has squandered the talents of Hall of Famers like Joey Votto while potentially repeating the pattern with young star Elly De La Cruz. The article argues that the real danger is losing fan engagement entirely, with longtime supporters approaching apathy toward the team. The author contends that ownership must replace front office leadership, including general manager Nick Krall and Brad Meador, to signal meaningful change to a frustrated fanbase.
