Perhaps, but they won't make it this year. There are three teams that I believe are more talented, those being Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington. Let's not forget that the Dodgers are also significantly upgraded even beyond their stacked lineup last season. As good as the Reds are (and they are very good), I see them as the fourth, possibly even fifth best team in the NL. The NL is that stacked this year.
As early as next season. Votto had a great season, he lead the league in walks despite being injured and missing many games. Cueto and Chapman both had great years, both were in contention for the Cy Young and Mat Latos will rebound from a somewhat disappointing season. Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce are both elite and there bench should be productive with Frazier proving he can fill in for injured players just fine after almost winning rookie of the year for the NL. The bullpen is amazing, Dusty is a great coach and they play in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the game. Watch out for the reds...
