I'm in favor of the Votto side of the deal. Castro can definitely turn it around himself.

Who do you already have at first, and who would you be playing at second?

I think that the trade is fair but like straightcash said who do you have at those positions cause it matters if it is really going to help you

On the surface I don't like it because Cano's production at 2B is so rare, but need to know who you have at 1B and 3B now and who you would play at 2B to properly evaluate.

I would replace cano with prado and goldschmidt is at first. He has been trying to get Caniofor a month now abd I jusst cant give him up bc him being in 2nd gives me such good flexibility with prado being able to play 4 positions. I would hate to have tied up at second every game

if you like how your current lineup is set, then dont do it. i would normally say definitely go for this trade as Votto is a top talent, plus castro is a really good fantasy SS, but you already have goldschmidt who is putting up MVP type numbers...i think your team is solid enough as it is, maybe just try to upgrade shortstop elsewhere
you can look at it like this...you could have goldschmidt/cano at 1st/2nd, or votto/prado at 1st/2nd...i like the first combo

I would not do the trade, the slight upgrade at 1B is not worth downgrading Cano to Prado at 2B like dudekid mentioned earlier.

Now I am convinced...do NOT do it. You don't need Votto with Goldschmidt there, so no need to downgrade 2B. You are fine as is.

I agree
Second Basemen are hard to get.
You could ruin your season with this trade.
Cano has 20 more home runs and 50 rbi's this season
You can accept Brandon Phillips, and thats it.
But you are not getting him anyways.
Cano should be on your untradeable list
Rotisseie rule you should never forget: Never trade away a 1st round infielder unless you are desparate
you picked this guy because you will win your league with this guy

But he already has Goldschmidt so not worth giving up Cano. He'd be losing a lot more than he'd be gaining with Votto.

Watched Cano the other day just make a non chalant throw. Scare me when guys start playing like they are taking the game for granted

Not a good sign when he is in a contract year also.

It's worth it for those players. You're getting a steal here.

Castro is tanking for the cubs, but take it if you love votto.
