It's time to start thinking 2021.  Votto is in the way due to his Reds highest salary next 4 years.  

The Reds future is Garcia at SS and Stephenson at Catcher.  Reds have others under contract.  Bauer probably leaving unsigned.  Votto has to Go.

The Reds have to somehow rid themselves of Votto, and Bell.
