What are the chances of seeing Votto and Inciarte in a Jays uniform next year?

The asking price would be way more than Pillar. They'd want a significant prospect in return as well.

 

Do you think Tellez would be significant enough? It makes sense since he is 1Bman and would be blocked by Votto, although you can rotate him and Votto using DH. Or he could be sent off in another trade later (maybe as part of a package to get back an OFer).

Don't see the Reds wanting Pillar since they have Billy Hamilton

 

Oh I know! Just noting to jays_feaver that if Pillar is the asking price from the Reds, that is something I imagine the Jays to heavily consider (depending on how much reds want to eat).

Truthfully, I highly doubt the Jays are entertaining the idea for Votto and these rumors during AA's time is just hauting this management group due to fan noise/obession.

 

I mean... Psht. Maybe they want a better hitting version of Billy Hamilton! A 2 wRC+ difference is huge fam. /sarcasm /

Maybe I wasnt clear in that im assuming the Reds wouldnt eat Votto's contract and still would want a good asset like Pillar in return, which I wouldnt do.

 

This front office seems solid enough that we don't need to give up good mlb assets for the privilege to take on massive contracts.

If AA was the GM, I could see this (Votto) happening.

 

I can't see Shapiro/Atkins doing it. Contract is too long and Votto is only going to get worse, not better.

 

Inciarte is a good target, but he'll cost a lot, probably more than the Jays are comfortable trading.

I'd say 50/50 we see Inciarte. Zero chance on Votto.

About as much as a SnowBBBBalls chance in Hell !!!! Lol
