Joey Votto established himself as the face of the Reds franchise for many years, competing on playoff teams in Cincinnati and through a rebuild. As the 2023 MLB season wound down, many observers wondered whether it would be Votto’s last.
But while appearing on The Dan Patrick Show on Friday morning, Votto explained that he isn’t yet ready to retire and would like to finish his career on a high note.
“I want to play again at least one more year,” Votto said. “The last couple years were crummy. I wasn’t healthy for two years, so I’d like to play well. It’s not the taste I want to leave in my mouth.”
