BROKEN PROMISES: Rockies and Reds Ownership FAILS to Build Around Stars

Colorado Rockies face harsh truths after seasons of 100-plus losses, forcing a rare organizational overhaul. Can fresh leadership led by Paul DePodesta finally pull the Rockies out of mediocrity, or will frustration continue to define the fan base? Meanwhile, Cincinnati Reds fans grow impatient as ownership sets their sights on 83–84 wins instead of division glory, despite the breakout impact of Elly De La Cruz and standout pitching prospects like Hunter Greene and Chase Burns.   Paul Holden and Jeff Carr debate whether either franchise is truly committed to winning or simply settling for wild card scraps. Key topics include the Rockies’ delayed rebuild after the Nolan Arenado era, the Reds’ failed attempts to capitalize on a weakened NL Central, and the importance of embracing bold moves at the trade deadline. Is real change finally on the horizon for these long-suffering MLB franchises, or are fans destined for another rebuild cycle?   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-rockies/       Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More   🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/       Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
