Joey Votto Will Return for 18th Season But May Leave Reds

Joey Votto intends to return for an 18th MLB season in 2024.
He wants to play for the Reds, but is open to playing elsewhere if they decide to move on.
The Reds have a $20 million club option for Votto in 2024.
Votto had a challenging 2022 season due to injury but made a successful comeback in 2023.
At 39 years old, Votto may not be in his prime but can still contribute offensively and be a veteran leader.
