Good news is, he should rake over the next 9 games.

I am so glad he got rid of that crotched down batting stance and returned his hands high and more up right. He looks way more fluid and driving the ball. Hope he NEVER goes back to that ridiculous stance. He needs to stay with this stance the rest of his career

If this team makes the playoffs and has a chance once they get there, Votto needs to hit well. Hopefully tonight's 3-4 will get him rolling.
Everyone needs to hit better, but Votto is this team's leader, and I'm convinced the offense will be better if he's hitting like his old self.

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

He is hitting like his old self (or even better) at home. If he can bring his away form up a few notches than bam. But man, his record at home this season is incredible. OPS at 1.158 right now! In 2010, it was 1.024 overall. If he carries the Reds at home games, then someone else can step up at the away games.
The leadoff experiment? Bad. Joey's crouch, overthinking phase? Bad. #3, just rake.....really good.

After close to 400 posts, is there a consensus on what they should do with Votto?

i wonder if the front office would ask Votto to restructure his contract so it defers out to 8 years, instead of $82 million for the next 4 years, they see if Votto would defer and take 10 million for the next 8 years and give him the remaining 2 million at the end of that 10 years? They have to pay him 82 million no matter what. Maybe this helps the Reds go get more pieces, A Shortstop and Maybe Bauer or his replacement for 2021..
$82 million over 10 years is not worth nearly as much as $82 million over 4 years. Future dollars are always worth less than present dollars.

They wouldn't have to restructure it like that but Redsfan has a good point. The budget is the biggest problem and the uncertainty of any attendance in 2021 doesn't help.
If they could move $5M-$10M from what Votto will be paid in 2021 to down the road it would make it easier to make the kind of moves that the Reds need to make to compete in 2021.
As things stand right now Votto will be paid $25M in each of the next 3 years with a $20M club option for 2024 that has a $7M buyout.
2021 $25M
2022 $25M
2023 $25M
2024 $20M option with $7M buyout.
Would he consider something like this:
2021 $20M
2022 $22M
2023 $25M
2024 $20M option with $15M buyout.
Every little bit of extra room in the budget helps. I wonder if they've asked him about the possibility.
