flavum Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Reds are working on locking up Votto long term. Guess he won't be the Cubs first big fish under Theo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess he won't be the Cubs first big fish under Theo. Rogers just tweeted that BlueJays have been saving money for Votto, and this extension means they will go all out looking for someone.

I highly doubt he would have signed with the Cubs. IIRC, Votto HATES them. Also, Rizzo likely has 1b locked up for the Cubs in the future.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 08:04 AM) How many arbitration years did Votto have left? None, they had already bought them out.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It will be interesting to see which contract ends worse? Pujols (age 41) Fielder (age 36 & fat) Votto (age 39 & no DH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pujols (age 41) Fielder (age 36 & fat) Votto (age 39 & no DH) Man Paulie still a bargain, I know maybe not the same class but how many WS do Fielder and Votto have..

caulfield12 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Jayson Werth will be 38 when his deal expires, you have to put that one right up there with one of the potentially worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
