Sure - for some definition of "reproducible". Any metric you come up with that's easily measurable will be gamed into oblivion. Anything meaningful - like looking at dedicated reproduction studies, etc. - requires a complete change in how academia functions, because right now publishing a paper that just aims to reproduce (or fail to) a previous work is effectively impossible in most fields. Not to mention that given the incentive structure you'd be pretty crazy to even try.

It may well be some kind of law that every positive incentive creates at least one perverse incentive, but that doesn't mean positive incentives don't work or aren't worth trying.
