Jocketty: We Haven’t Talked About Trading Votto

By Mike Axisa | October 10, 2011 at 6:01pm CDT

A few days ago we heard the Reds were willing to listen to offers for first baseman Joey Votto, though they weren't actively shopping him. GM Walt Jocketty shot that down today, telling MLB.com's Mark Sheldon…

"We haven’t talked about it. I wish that people would stop writing it," said Jocketty. "Why would we trade one of the best players in the game? We’re trying to win."

Votto, 28, just completed the first year of a three-year, $38MM deal that bought out all three years of his arbitration-eligibility. He will earn $9.5MM next season then $17MM in 2013 before becoming a free agent. A trade now would bring greater return since the acquiring team will get him for two full years rather than one or even less.

The reigning NL MVP hit .309/.416/.531 with 29 homers this year, numbers that are actually down across the board compared to 2010. Miguel Cabrera had two years of team control left when the Marlins dealt him to the Tigers, though it's not a perfect comparison because of the Dontrelle Willis factor. Adrian Gonzalez returned three good prospects (and a role player) with just one year of control left. Either way, Votto would represent a viable trade alternative to a team fearful of handing a long-term contract to Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder.

      it is true. They are shopping him. It woud take a #1 starter like a Johnson from Florida, and Alonzo moves in at 1st base. Expect something to be done at catcher to make room for Mescaro and my bet is they will leave 3rd base and leadoff spot alone after they resign Phillips!

    The reason you trade one of the best players in the game is because you are not going to be able to pay and keep him after his current contract is up, and you would rather get prospects then nothing in return. Also, can we stop the Bautista for Votto crap, it’s never going to happen from the Jays point of view.

      Actually…Reds will get a 1st rounder (most likely) plus a supplemental pick if they lose Votto to free agency.  Teams with poor depth, weak prospect funnel, and low budget for signing draft picks will opt trade this type of player for prospects who are close to being major league ready.

    The Blue Jays would count themselves lucky to get votto for bautista, he’s younger, cheaper for the next two years and has more upside. I dont understand why Jays fans think Votto for Bautista would be a raw deal, if i were Toronto, id do that deal every day of the week.

      Let’s say that their “upside” has hit a plateau, we can call it pretty even with the slight advantage going to Bautista. Votto is cheaper next year but then more expensive in 2013 and after that he is looking at 20+ a year, so advantage Bautista. Votto is 3 years younger than Bautista. Also, Bautista plays a more challenging position and gives flexibility with his ability to play 3rd, if need be. Then there is the message that trading a guy that has hit the most home runs over the past 2 year and just signed an extension. It would send a terrible message to the fans and future players that wanted to sign with the Jays.

      Actually Bautista is the cheaper of the two and Bautista is one of the best defensive right fielders. Bautista is also better offensively, and he has taken over as the clear leader on this team. Adam Lind and some prospects makes much better sense to the Jays.

          uzr had as a good fielder in ’09, albeit bad in ’10 and ’11.

          reference has him a good fielder in ’09 and ’11 (what do they use? Total Zone or something?)

          He is usually near the top in outfield assists.

          Using those all together I’d say he’s barely below average.

      I doubt Jays fans see it as a “raw deal”.  They probably see it more as a “zero sum” game.  In other words, a sideways move where you really don’t move forwards or backwards.

    I dont see how Votto is a good alternative to Pujols, fielder…

    Votto is going to cost a mini van full of prospects, and in 2 years is going to demand a similar salary to the one fielder is about to receive… and no team is going to give up their top prospects + for a guy they only want for 2 years..

          guys like fielder and pujols will cost you money and prospects either way because when they become UFA’s they are still type A FA’s. using those prospects ahead of time to ensure you get the guy you want and also have him locked up may be the better route for teams.

              but that’s exactly the sentiment i’ve gotten from reading his latest interviews, he’s frustrated because seriously attendance still hasn’t gone up?

              He’s proven he can field a team for next to no money, he’s proven that team can compete, the only thing he hasn’t proved is that winning= revenue.  From that standpoint, it would be tough to see him taking on such a high salary…

              perhaps, a 3 way deal involving the marlins, rays and reds.. with morrison going to the rays,  upton and votto to the marlins and shields and some pieces going to the reds. ..

              I have a feeling the marlins are going to get all nationals on us this offseason and do some stupid(er) things

                        They spent about as much as Jays & Red Sox.  They did well drafting this year.

                        Votto makes sense for Tampa in that they are not afraid to lose a Type A player to free agency because they will spend money signing their picks.  It seems they picked up Rafael Soriano two years ago with that intent.

                  rays reported operating income (profit) of $7M in 2010. if they can spend $70M without losing money, and a votto-type acquisition brings them a title, and their attendance still blows … they’ll have as good a case as can be made for relocation/nuclear holocaust

      That is actually one of the most reasonable proposals I have seen. If the Rays are up for trading Shields it could be a fit. The only problem I have with it is that in 2013 Votto makes 17 million and is looking at a raise after that and the Rays would never pay someone that much.

        money is clearly the issue, but shields is gone after next year either way. when you factor in damon and upton’s combined $10M, votto is the cheaper route next year

        shields, damon, and upton combines for about $15M in theoretical 2012
        votto costs 9.5. that’s 5.5 in savings

        votto jumps to $17M in 2013, a $7.5M increase. that’s just $2M more than they cut with the acquisition in 2012

        not a dealbreaker by any stretch. guyer is ready to take over in left, jennings can return to center, and joyce has right field covered. this is the benefit of having so much young talent. upton brings back at least one prospect without costing much production (if any)

        shields is replaced by matt freakin’ moore, and they have pitching prospects a mile deep anyway

        meanwhile, that lineup becomes formidable with the addition of votto’s bat

    What about Votto to Florida? The Marlins want to make a splash and they are willing to trade Sanchez. I don’t know the Marlins farm at all so I don’t know who they could add with Sanchez but it might be a fit.

      The Marlins farm, simple put, should have absolutely no value for someone like Votto.

    I think it should go along the Greinke trade.. Both are teams with 2 yr control of a player which they knew they would lose after that contract.

    So, I see the Reds get a top 3 prospect, two B prospects

    Why do so many people think gm’s are liars. Also I would love to see somebody explain how Votto for Bautista would be a good trade for the Jays.

    I hear the Marlins have stated that they would be interested if he becomes available.. Would Stanton or Hanley be available in this situation?

    1- Phillips
    2- Mesoraco
    3- Alonzo
    4- Bruce
    5- Rolen/Fransisco
    6- Heisey
    7-Stubbs
    8- Cozart

    The big issue with the Reds is they gave Votto a very player friendly contract from their perspective.  They will be paying market value (or better) for the next two arbitration years and got nothing for his free agent years – not even an option.

    Financially, there is no incentive for anyone to trade for Votto knowing at best, they will break even if Votto continues to perform at a high level.  An injury or disappointing season will be a disaster and then Votto can leave after 2013.  It appears to me that asking for top talent in this scenario is futile unless Votto agrees to renegotiate with his new team.

    Jocketty screwed up big time on this deal.

      Votto would have gotten more from arbitration most likely than what he is getting this coming season 2012. 

      Also your argument about getting hurt is moot. You could say that about any top playing in the entire game and it would be true.

      I honestly feel that it is not a terrible deal and if Votto Does not live up to the 17 million in 2013 then yes it would hurt the reds Payroll.  It has been said that the payroll has been put into prospective include Joey’s contract. 

      I love how people think Castellini wont pay to win.  This is not Carl Linder people.

    Don’t mean to be a jerk, but “We Haven’t Talking”? Really? And it still hasn’t been corrected. This is absurd for such a big website. Wow.

    Trade Joey Votto for Felix Hernandez.

    Makes perfect sense for both teams. The Reds stop getting harassed about trading Votto for manufactured stories, and the Mariners stop getting harassed about trading Felix for manufactured stories.

      You may be joking, but Votto to the Mariners actually makes sense to me. Not for felix but I would build a package around Pineda.

    Hmm. I wonder at the possibility of a three way involving the Reds, Red Sox and a third team. Move Youk to Cincy to play 1B and save the wear and tear on his body at a decent contract (plus coming home) plus prospects, Votto to that third team (Jays, TB, etc.) and OF/SP help tp Boston. I think the right combo of prospects and matching OF/SP pieces from that third team could make it an interesting and viable possibility.

    Okay,,,,,I warned Red fans this in September that the Reds were trying to extend the contract of Votto by 4 years at 70 million dollars and if Joey balked he was going to be traded. The big deal in the works or should I say early conversation is Votto, Bailey and Saplette to Toronto for Brandon Morrow (a great shot at the #2 starting rotation) Rasmus (a good outfielder who will push Stubbs or play leftfield) and a top relief pitching prospect in Las Vegas AAA (Toronto) and a AA pitching prospect. Right now the chances of this deal is 50-50
