Justin Upton on the verge of an extension
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4959811
Could be an interesting model for Joey Votto. I'd start thinking about this in a few months, depending on Votto's performance/health and Alonso's progression.

Re: Justin Upton on the verge of an extension
The Evan Longoria deal looks all the more ridiculously good now. Upton meanwhile is going to be in for a huge payday when he hits free agency at like 26.
Luckily the Reds have control of Votto through most of his prime.
