Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo are the future of the Cincinnati Reds and the future should begin this coming year. Jeff talks about why that idea has brought back the Reds gear into his life and why the Reds should absolutely do this. He also looks at Reds pitching debuts, according to bWAR, that range all the way from Luis Castillo to Cody Reed, over the last 12 years. Also, why the Reds need to make transparency their top New Year's resolution.

With the Cincinnati Reds current position being cost-cutting, they've actually got two aces in the hole in Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo. Calling them up and installing them into the pitching staff will be the absolute best offseason move the Reds can make.

Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo have the kind of make-up to build some of the best debut performances the Reds have seen in the last done years. From Luis Castillo to Cody Reed, we look at what competition the young guns have.

Lastly, what is with all the vague phrasing? If the Cincinnati Reds leadership were transparent with their fanbase, then trust and fan engagement would not be at an all-time low, like it's currently heading for in 2022. Jeff gives you his pitch for what transparency from the Reds would sound like.
