You have to do this. Seriously. I think you'll make do having Votto on the bench for a few games.

I'd cut Swisher and/or try to deal for an outfielder. Swish won't be able to sustain his torrid start. Especially in the BA sense.

Reciprocate?

I have already tried before to move Votto with out any luck. So I feel anything I do will be permanent.

I'd drop Verlander or Young...

Then I'd possibly try to deal him for another SP that is higher than those two...

take Ortiz and then try to deal him or Teix. I'd drop Verlander to make it happen.

This is a no-brainer, you gotta pick up Papi here!

I'd drop Verlander or Drew.
