Possible? Sure. I guess for all the above except JD. I don't see many HOF players being on 4 teams by the time they are 30. If he plays at this level the next 5 years then I'll revisit the question.

You seem to think I'm downgrading the Sox. I'm not. I'm just reading off Cincy's resume. Besides, the question isn't "are they better than the 75 Reds." It's "are they one of the all-time great teams?". They would have to dominate the competition (which they have so far), win it all, & stand up over the test of time. If the Big Red Machine is the bench mark, they were legendary for more reasons than just their win total. IDK if they measure up just yet. But I can't say they won't as time passes.

And IDK how much tougher the AL East is now than the NL West then. Show me the Yanks, I'll show you the O's. Kind of balances out.
