Blue Jays Made Play For Joey Votto Last Summer

Aug 27, 2016 12:28 AM

The Toronto Blue Jays made a play to try and acquire Joey Votto from the Cincinnati Reds last summer.

Jon Heyman notes that they might have continued to pursue Votto had they not shuffled their front office.

The Blue Jays were willing to add Votto on top of Troy Tulowitzki and David Price, which would have made the 2015 lineup even more star-studded.

Votto is a native of Toronto.

There was plenty of work to be done to complete a deal, according to sources. Toronto would have wanted Votto's 10-year, $225 million contract paid down significantly and it isn't known how much, if any, the Reds would have agreed to remain responsible for.

Diamondbacks Ownership Stopped Shelby Miller Trade To Marlins

Aug 23, 2016 6:33 AM

The Arizona Diamondbacks and Miami Marlins worked out a trade that would have sent Shelby Miller to the National League East in exchange for three pitchers, but Arizona ownership shot down the deal.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today writes that Diamondbacks ownership said such a trade "just wouldn't look good" considering the huge package the club gave up to acquire Miller from the Atlanta Braves just last winter.

The Diamondbacks were also considering replacing Chip Hale with Triple-A manager Phil Nevin before being told that ownership wouldn't approve such a move.
