Author Wesley Jenkins

Wesley Jenkins

Wesley - or Wes, whichever really - first fell in love with the Reds because of Ken Griffey Jr.'s smooth swing and shining smile. Ever since that first infatuation, it has been tortured fandom broken up by a blown 2-0 lead to the Giants and a Roy Halladay no-hitter - but that's neither here nor there. The only things Wes loves as much as the Reds are pancakes, flannels, and Vanderbilt baseball. You can find more of his writing at wesjenks.com or his carefully curated retweets @_wesjenks.

Another season, another September plagued by "storylines for next year" and storylines about another sport. Why the Reds need to accept they need change.

Why the Reds should just sit this one out

Wesley Jenkins

Sellers? Buyers? Why not neither? With the trade market frozen and the Reds in limbo, doing nothing seems like the best option after all.
