Former Cincinnati Reds star Joey Votto is clamoring to return to the field, in yet another indication that he has no plans to retire.
The Reds and Votto parted ways this offseason after 17 seasons with the franchise.
“I’m just sitting here jealous,” the 40-year-old Votto said during Thursday’s spring training broadcast between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. “As the weather turns and the days get longer and people get excited to be outside. You know, we have a game that is outside. It’s a party. It’s sunny, green grass. It’s like a big barbecue, and I just miss it, I miss it so much.”
