The title says it all, what would you accept as a minimum to get you to accept a trade of Votto?

I can't think of any single person I would be willing to trade Votto for straight up.

It would take a lot for me to deal Votto. It would take a significant overpay by the other team. I wouldn't deal Votto for just slightly more talent, rather it would take a Myers + Hellickson + Price + Jennings haul from Rays. It would have to be a deal so one sided, Bud Selig would step in and prevent it from happening.
Probably fairly serious brain damage. Sometimes I think I'm close, though.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
I can't think of a deal involving Votto that I'd make. Fans are important and alienating them by trading Votto seems like bad business no matter the return.
Great thread.

Right now? The other team's farm system. In 8 years? Not a whole lot more than salary relief.
Vernon Wells straight up.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Pujols and Trout
and Hamilton
sorry we're boring

The only guy I can even think would be debatable would be Trout. Even that is tough because you would have to base the whole trade on 1 year of Trout.
