REDS SHOULD TRY TO TRADE JOEY VOTTO

[grampahol]

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to baseball and especially towards great players who have stuck around with the team when they clearly could have gone to literally any team and demanded the highest salary ever. (not that he's ever going to the poor house) Nah, you keep guys like Votto for the long term and if you take the gamble with trading him and the trade goes south for any reason you lose a generation of fans who will never return . It's just not worth the gamble . Keep him around till he retires and  be thrilled you ever had him on the team even if he's 50 and hitting .178..  You sound like the guys who would gladly sell off your parents and grandparents legacies and generations of toil and hard work to get a pretty fast car that you take out and wreck a year later with no insurance .
