CINCINNATI — The Reds finished the 2024 season with a 77-85 record and although things feel promising with new manager Terry Francona running the show, one analyst believes they underachieved more than any other team.

"The Reds underachieved the most of any team last season, finishing with a 77-85 record despite an expected win-loss record of 82-80," Bowden wrote.

Bowden also noted all of their talent and believes they have the talent to be next year's version of the Royals or Tigers. For more on what he wrote, go here.
