Problem 1 is who can they get? They would have to pay a fortune in bodies and cash to land a top guy, IF one of their teams would even deal. Votto? Freeman? Hard to imagine. If they do make a move, it might be one of those resurrection deals or some shrewd gamble on a guy like the Padres youngster, Solarte.




I could be wrong but I don't see them getting a big name / top guy. They don't have enough to give up and they typically don't take on big salaries and big names unless it is short term. Unless the Reds want a fan revolt, they aren't moving Votto. And there is no way the Cards are taking on that beast of a contract. There is always the slim chance Philly will deal Howard and eat a large part of that nasty contract. But do you want an aging HR hitter that is in a rapid decline? There has also been talk of Ike Davis from the A's. Not sure that is much of an improvement...

At the end of the day, I trust Mo will figure it out. He's got a pretty good track record...
