Should it get you a Cy Young? Trevor Bauer's 2020 CY is the only CY the Reds have in their entire history. As a Reds fan, I don't know how to feel about it.

As for the question at hand, I don't have a problem including NL records. When you are talking about the best all time, it's all an argument and subjective to variables anyway. Are hitters now more impressive because of the number of pitchers throwing 100 mph? Even though they don't have 4000 hits or 700 HR, does Miguel Cabrera or Albert Pujols become the best hitters of all time? Is Cabrera's Triple Crown season the best season all time because of the pitchers they faced?

Thus, the inclusion of NL records and reorganizing the best of the best isn't changing anything that we don't already argue about.
