In other words, Brandon Phillips is likely gone after this year.

Or he signs to the Reds tune, dollars & length. More likely, he's gone after this year.

No going to lie--I'm extremely excited and a tiny bit nervous.

Re: Reds, Votto nearing extention per MLB Trade Rumors

This would have to be for at least 10 years if the speculated $200 million range is correct, right?

I dont think the contract will be a 10-yr. Im thinking it will land between Ryan Zimmerman's and Matt Kemp's contract. Im thinking 7 or 8 years at $150MM. Matt Kemp came off of a (should have been) MVP year, and only had 1yr remaining under his current deal. That obviously gave him a bit more bargaining power than the 2 years that Votto currently has. Just my .02

Re: Reds, Votto nearing extention per MLB Trade Rumors

Dave Cameron brought up a good point on Fangraphs. He wonders if the Reds got nervous with the Dodgers sale, thinking that they would be willing to back the Brinks truck to his house to get him to go to LA.
