April 2, 201214 yr Reds are working on locking up Votto long term. Guess he won't be the Cubs first big fish under Theo.
April 2, 201214 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 12:05 PM) Reds are working on locking up Votto long term. 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.

April 3, 201214 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Votto extension official, through 2023. $225m. gulp. Holy s*** that is a ton of money for an extension.
April 3, 201214 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 08:04 AM) How many arbitration years did Votto have left? None, they had already bought them out. He had signed a 3 year, $38 million deal to buy out his arb years through 2013.

April 3, 201214 yr It will be interesting to see which contract ends worse? Pujols (age 41) Fielder (age 36 & fat) Votto (age 39 & no DH)

April 4, 201214 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Source: Votto extension with #Reds includes full no-trade for all 10 years. Also gets full no-trade for remaining 2 years of current deal.
April 4, 201214 yr Jayson Werth will be 38 when his deal expires, you have to put that one right up there with one of the potentially worst.

April 11, 201214 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:18 AM) Why would you want a no trade contract if you are on the reds? leverage/ability to control where you go
April 14, 201214 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:19 AM) leverage/ability to control where you go right, it was a joke.
