Trendy is absolutely right Slyder. I forgot about this: (I believe it was at the allstar game.
Cincinnati Reds' Joey Votto rips Chicago Cubs, passes on congratulations for Marlon Byrd - ESPN Chicago
Quote:
"I don't like the Cubs," said Votto, the first baseman for the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds. "And I'm not going to pat anybody with a Cubs uniform on the back."

I wonder if new management and a monster contract offer would change his tune?

Yes. We blame J.P for all things that happened...

Chicago White Sox (Konerko can't play forever, Dunn got real old real fast last year)
I can see at least one of these teams not wanting to wait two years for Votto and opt instead to blow their money on Josh Hamilton or Mike Napoli.

J.P. made some bad moves, Loria's just a money grapping son of a bitch. Bit of a difference.
Votto makes Canadian baseball legit.
