The Reds are closing in on a contract extension with Joey Votto, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I can't comment 'til it's done," Votto said. "You'll have to ask (general manager) Walt (Jocketty). It's a gray area." Votto is under contract this season for $9.5 million and $17 million next season, but the extension could be for around $200 million.
