Nick Krall Discusses Possibility of Reds Re-Signing Joey Votto

Could the Reds legend return to Cincinnati this season?

CINCINNATI — The Reds moved on from Joey Votto this offseasn and it doesn't sound like there are any plans to bring him back. 

"We don't plan to bring him back as of now," Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall said during an event with season ticket holders.

Votto, 40, spent 17 seasons with the Reds. The six-time All-Star and former National League MVP is a free agent for the first time in his career.

The Blue Jays have been linked to the Reds legend this offseason. Three teams were reportedly interested in signing him earlier this month, but he's still a free agent.

Votto appeared in 2,056 games for the Reds, finishing with 2,135 hits, 1,365 walks, 356 home runs and 1,144 RBI. He posted a .294 batting average and a .920 OPS. He posted a .202/.314/.433 slash line in 65 games last season.

The Reds declined Votto's $20 million club option for 2024 and bought out the final year of his deal for $7 million in November.
