NOBODY WANTS VOTTO!!!
Of the 227 MLB players who have at least 200 ABs Votto ranks 190th in batting average, 171st in SLG%, 95th in OB%, and 144th in OPS.
His decent OB% is somewhat negated by the fact that he is such a poor base runner.
Guyofthetiger makes a good point. With The Yankees dying to add Castillo because they need more pitching to lock in a World Series, but Yankees don't ant to give up much, just make it Castillo and Votto or they don't get Castillo. Reds still don't get much in trade return, but they dump payroll. The Big Bucks Yankess can afford to pay Votto and might even like him as an extra on their World Series type team. The Yankees may not want Votto, but they want Castillo bad. Guyofthetiger made a good point. Teams that ant Castillo have to take Votto also. Yankees are one of the few teams that could afford to do it. If Yankees ask Reds what they want in trade for Castillo and Vottio, Reds should take what little the Yankees offer as a trade.
