It was reported that Joey Votto was near signing a contract extension worth $200 million.
I caught Votto coming off the field during the Reds 2-1 win over Cleveland.
Are you close to signing an extension?
"You'll have to ask Walt Jocketty about that," Votto said.
Are you negotiating an extension?
"Ask Walt about that."
I checked the owners box twice and could not find Jocketty.
When Bronson Attoyo left, I asked if he was going to borrow a couple bucks from Votto. His reaction.
"Did he sign that extension? I told him this morning that he wasn't going to sign the extension because Bob Castellini doesn't sell enough salad. He (Votto) laughed."
