Did not see that one coming, especially for such a light number. Free-agency would have gotten him at least $25M more. Brandon Phillips is all but gone now. They have chosen to move forward with Votto as the center of the team. I think it the better move. Hopefully they won't have the money to re-sign Stubbs when he comes up now.
I hope they have really committed to spending the cash to keep the team competitive and don't surround Votto with scrubs because they spent too much money on him.
