The Cincinnati Reds' playoff hopes took a major hit with a crushing 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays, leaving them 6.5 games back from the final wild card spot. This episode breaks down the implications of this defeat and explores the strong job security of manager David Bell, as suggested by GM Nick Krall. Jeff Carr discusses the potential acceleration of top pitching prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder to the majors, especially with Hunter Greene's injury uncertainty. Jeff also delves into the belief that significant player development happens in the majors, supporting the case for promoting these prospects sooner. With the 2024 playoff hopes fading, the focus shifts to analyzing what went wrong this season and looking ahead to 2025.
