Reds in an Era: 2008-2015: The Comeback Kids & Clinchmas

by TheToddFather21 - 27 cards (Last updated on Mar 18, 2020)

In 2008, the Reds completed trades to send Ken Griffey Jr. to the Chicago and Adam Dunn to Arazona. In 2008, a new core of players began to emerge. Edinson Volquez, newly acquired from the Rangers, won 18 games and made the all-star team. Joey Votto came in second in the ROY voting. Jay Bruce made his debut in May, and Johnny Cueto also debuted in 2008. The Reds won the NL Central Division in 2010 and 2012 and made a Wild-Card appearance in 2013. They're best opportunity to win was in 2012. Although they made the second wild-card in 2013, things began to fall apart, and in 2014 the window to win shut as they lost 86 games and came in 4th in the NL Central, and at the 2015 trade deadline the Reds began to trade off pieces including Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake.
