India is one of the most well-respected players on the team and he's often seen as the heart of the Reds.“We’re tired of losing,” <a href="https://x.com/CharlieG__/status/1838728357376045379">India said.</a> “It’s the same thing every year here.

I know what it is, but I just want to say it to the media.”India sure sounds a lot like every single Reds fan sounds on social media.And he's completely right.The Reds need to add more talent. They have a great young core and some more talent on the way up the minor leagues, but they need to make a move that takes them to the next level.Injuries played a part in Cincinnati's demise this year. They saw Matt McLain, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and a few other talented players miss significant time with injuries, while Noelvi Marte missed the first half of the season with a PED suspension.Cincinnati has an absolute superstar on their hands with Elly De La Cruz. De La Cruz completely changes the game and he draws the fans in as well. There's a chance that he's only in Cincinnati for the next five or six years, so the Reds need to do all they can to try to win right now. If they wait too long, their generational superstar may be in another uniform, pushing them back into another rebuild.</div></body>
