Realistically, we just have to hope for no major injuries and we should be able to make the playoffs again. Or at least be competitive into september.

I can't believe you've done this

Literally from the link you posted: Reds first baseman Joey Votto could waive his no-trade clause if his hometown team – the Blue Jays – attempts to acquire him, Cafardo suggests, but he adds that a deal is unlikely. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported earlier this week that the Reds have “no intention” of trading Votto, who is owed $179MM over the next seven seasons.“We’ve traded away a lot of players we’ve drafted and developed. He’s one of the few that remains,” said GM Dick Williams. “There’s a sentimental connection with fans no doubt. But it doesn’t have anything to do with attendance and draw. It’s about performance. He delivers.” This post was not thread-worthy

Sign Josh Reddick and DO NOT trade for Jay Bruce (NJH #4)
Stangstag replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah, that was before he tore his knee up tripping on a sprinkler head. -
There were several posters that suggested Reddick would get around 90mil. I know BTS said it for sure
-
What happened to all the dumbasses here that said Reddick would get close to 100 million? Lol.
-
I feel like with this signing, there is ZERO chance we sign Edwin. Bautista might still be on the table as long as he's willing to play the bulk of his games at 1B with some occasional starts in the OF. However its more likely that Shapkins focus on signing reinforcements for the outfield now. Guys like Joyce/Pagan/Reddick/Fowler/etc.
-
Next step is to sign Pearce/Joyce for the outfield. Or Fowler if we have the money.
-
A Pearce/Thames platoon could actually produce something like a 120wRC+ over a full season.
-
We'll see
-
You're wrong
-
Good point
-
Giving up young assets for older players is not a good plan in the long run. You want to destroy the farm and have to wait another 5 years to rebuild? What if we trade Travis/Alford/+ for Cutch and he still sucks? Not worth the risk
-
When you have a season as bad as Cutch's 2016, you have to be wary. I'm iffy about signing Donaldson for 7-8 years right now. If Donaldson put up a 1 WAR season playing 150 games next year, I would not be thinking about a 7-8 year extension.

Go blow yourself
-
I'm not comfortable giving up 4 more years of a great young MLB player in Travis, and one of our top prospects for another guy over age 30. Yes, I know how good McCutchen WAS, but there is not guarantee he bounces back. He was A LOT worse than his career norms last year. A LOT worse. Couple that with the fact he's on the wrong side of 30, I would be cautious to give up Travis + Alford for him. You look at guys like Tulo and Martin, who have gotten worse past age 30. McCutchen might now be in that group. This team needs to get younger, not older.
-
Gotta think a trade for Cutch would have to include one of Travis/Stroman/Sanchez. Maybe something like Travis + Alford? I wouldn't do that trade. Cutch was pretty bad last year. If we could get Cutch for a package based around Pompey, i'd be all for it. But I don't see that happening.
-
Awesome
-
Yup. People here have mentioned him
-
This. Bautista and Edwin aren't the only good bats on the market.
-
AND he had to watch his team in the playoffs on TV
-
I disagree
-
If that was the case, then every QO free agent would sign within the first week of free agency. I'm sure Jose and his agent have an idea of what he's worth, maybe a team is willing to go 3/60. But things change, and that offer could evaporate.
-
You can't just go out into free agency and then find out the contract you wanted isn't there, and then go back and accept the QO.
